Hey guys. Would really appreciate some help with this online petition here in Florida. Two cities--Rockledge and Cape Canaveral--are planning to inject partially ('partially') treated sewage into the Floridan Aquifer. This will dump pharmaceuticals, carcinogens, and waste VERY near where we get our drinking water (that 'our' is both humans and animals since the boundary layer of the aquifer is porous and sometimes non-existent in some spots. That means that it also feeds in some spots directly into the Indian River Lagoon---a very cool, magical place to paddle. I've posted here a number of times about the Indian and Banana Rivers; I really love this body of water. It is the most diverse ecosystem in North America. Atlantic Bottle Nose Dolphins, sharks. alligators, Manatees, seahorse, rays, and fresh water fish among about a thousand other species all intermingle here like no where else on the planet. It is in great danger of being hosed. A group I am part of called Save Our Aquifer has a really informative website about this problem:

*It would be great if as many people signed the online petition by following the link below. Thanks so much in advance!
