SUMMARY:How Long Until It Is Gone?
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that according to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) recyclable post-consumer packing with an estimated value of $11.4 billion is land-filled in the United States each year instead of being recycled?\nDid you also know that 80% of that trash that is in our landfills is recyclable?\nMany people think that after a few years the trash that has made its way to the ocean\, either intentionally or unintentionally\, will break down and decompose. Unfortunately\, this is not the case for almost all ocean debris.\nAccording to the Mote Marine Lab in Sarasota\, Florida\, it is estimated that one glass bottle alone takes 1 million years to decompose. However\, it is undetermined the exact time it takes glass to break down due to its significantly long decomposition rate.\n\n  \nWhat is the most common trash collected during cleanups? \n\nRanked from most common to least common based off of the findings from the International Coastal Cleanup hosted by the Ocean Conservancy:\nCigarettes/Cigarette Filters – 1-5 years to biodegrade\nPlastic Food Wrapper/Containers – 20-30 years\nPlastic water bottles – 450 years\nPlastic bags – 10-20 years\nPlastic caps and lids – 450-1\,000 years\nPlastic utensils – 450 years\nPlastic straws and stirrers – up to 200 years\nGlass bottles – 1 million years (estimated\, exact time unknown)\nAluminum cans – 80-200 years\nPaper bags – 1 month\nPlastic water bottles were first created and commercially used in 1947.\nThat means if a plastic water bottle was dropped into the ocean the very first year that plastic bottles were created\, it is still floating somewhere and will not be “completely gone” until the year 2397.\nEven then\, plastics do not completely decompose\, they become micro-plastics. Because of the many carbon-carbon bonds that are used in processing plastics to be as sturdy as they are\, the organisms responsible for breaking down organic compounds do not recognize these unnatural strong carbon-carbon bonds and therefore cannot break these compounds down.\n\n

SUMMARY:What is an invasive species?
DESCRIPTION:What is an invasive species?\n\nAn invasive species is a non-native species (including seeds\, eggs\, spores\, or other propagules) whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic harm\, environmental harm\, or harm to human health. \nThe term “invasive” is used for the most aggressive species. These species grow and reproduce rapidly\, causing major disturbance to the areas in which they are present.\n\n  \nThings to know about invasive species:\n\nInvasive species\, if left uncontrolled\, can and will limit land use now and into the future.\nThe longer we ignore the problem the harder and more expensive the battle for control will become.\nInvasive species can decrease your ability to enjoy hunting\, fishing\, camping\, hiking\, boating and other outdoor recreational activities.\nThe United States suffers from $1.1-120 billion per year in economic losses due to exotic\, invasive species.\nApproximately 42% of Threatened or Endangered species are at risk due to non-native\, invasive species.

SUMMARY:Wekiwa Springs History
DESCRIPTION:Wekiwa Springs State Park\n\n\n\nClay Springs Boathouse\, Circa 1880\nThis area was known as Clay Springs until 1906\, when the name was changed to Wekiwa Springs. Forty-two million gallons of crystal clear water flow each day from Wekiwa Springs into Wekiwa Springs Run. The run joins with Rock Springs Run to form the beautiful upper Wekiva River. Creeks\, later called Seminoles\, are the most recent Native Americans to have lived here. Wekiwa means ‘spring of water’ and Wekiva means ‘flowing water’ in the Creek language.  Recreational activities have always been a part of the area which had several structures near the Spring. The largest and most prominent structure was the bathhouse\, where swimmers would change into their swimsuits. In an attempt to draw northerners to the area and promote tourism\, the springs were touted as medicinal waters that would cure an assortment of ailments. \nThe Apopka Sportsman Club bought the land that is presently Wekiwa Springs State Park in 1941 from the Wilson Cypress Company\, which logged the land for hardwoods\, in addition to cypress and pine. The Apopka Sportsman Club used the land for hunting and fishing until 1969 when they sold it to the state of Florida to become Wekiwa Springs State Park. The club built several hunting cabins on the property\, most of which are no longer in existence\, but have been turned into primitive camping sites. One cabin remains and currently serves as a ranger residence. \nThe Florida Park Service Ranger Academy is a bi-annual training that is aimed at teaching all new park rangers about the mission of the Florida Park Service. The first Ranger Academy was held at O’Leno State Park in 1972. In 1977\, Ranger Academy was moved to Wekiwa Springs State Park\, where it has been held ever since. \n\nGraduates of the first Florida Park Service Ranger Academy\, circa 1972\nThe National Wild and Scenic Rivers System was created by Congress in 1968 and signed into law by Lyndon Johnson on the 2nd of October to preserve certain rivers with outstanding natural\, cultural\, and recreational values in a free-flowing condition for the enjoyment of present and future generations. The Act is notable for safeguarding the special character of these rivers\, while also recognizing the potential for their appropriate use and development. It encourages river management that crosses political boundaries and promotes public participation in developing goals for river protection. \nThe Wekiva River from its confluence with the St. Johns River to Wekiwa Springs\, Rock Springs Run from its headwaters at Rock Springs to the confluence with the Wekiwa Springs Run and the Blackwater Creek from the outflow of Lake Norris to the confluence with the Wekiva River were protected under the Act.

SUMMARY:How Sewage Pollution Ends Up In Rivers
DESCRIPTION:3.5 MILLION AMERICANS GET SICK EACH YEAR AFTER SWIMMING\, BOATING\, FISHING\, OR OTHERWISE TOUCHING WATER THEY THOUGHT WAS SAFE.\nWhere does human waste mingle with household chemicals\, personal hygiene products\, pharmaceuticals\, and everything else that goes down the drains in American homes and businesses? \nIn sewers. \nAnd what can you get when rain\, pesticides\, fertilizers\, automotive chemicals\, and trash run off the streets and down the gutters into those very same sewers? Sewage backing up into people’s basements. Sewage spilling onto streets and parks. Sewage pouring into rivers and streams. \nEach year\, more than 860 billion gallons of this vile brew escapes sewer systems across the country. That’s enough to flood all of Pennsylvania ankle-deep. It’s enough for every American to take one bath each week for an entire year. \nAfter bursting out of a pipe or manhole cover\, this foul slurry pollutes the nearest body of water. Downstream\, some of it may be pumped out\, treated\, and piped into more homes and businesses. From there\, it goes back into a sewer system\, and the cycle resumes. \nA THREAT TO HUMAN HEALTH\nUntreated human sewage teems with salmonella\, hepatitis\, dysentery\, cryptosporidium\, and many other infectious diseases. \nCanal polluted by raw sewage\nOne hundred years ago\, epidemics of these diseases helped limit the life expectancy of a U.S. citizen to about 50 years. Estimates vary for how many people sewage still sickens or kills each year\, but they are all large. \nGerms linger even after the stench of sewage has dispersed. Healthy adults may never realize that yesterday’s swim caused today’s cough\, diarrhea\, or ear infection. Young children\, their grandparents\, and people already weakened by illness are more likely to become seriously ill or die. Scientists believe as many as 3.5 million Americans get sick each year after swimming\, boating\, fishing\, or otherwise touching water they thought was safe. \nA 1998 study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology blamed water pollution for one-third of all reported gastroenteritis cases and two-thirds of all ear infections. It’s not just the people who play in and around the water who are at risk. Between 1985 and 2000\, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) documented 251 separate disease outbreaks and nearly half a million cases of waterborne illness from polluted drinking water in the United States. Another study by the CDC and the National Academy of Sciences concluded that most illnesses caused by eating tainted seafood have human sewage as the root cause. \nOUTDATED TREATMENT PLANTS\nTo understand why this is happening\, it’s helpful to know some history. For centuries most American sewage poured into the nearest river or creek with little or no treatment\, and few people gave it a second thought. \nOld wastewater treatment plant\nThat changed when Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972 and the federal government began making significant investments to modernize sewage treatment infrastructure serving communities across the country. \nToday\, many of the plants built with that initial investment are undersized or are near the end of their effective lives. \nThere are 600\,000 miles of sewer pipes across the country and the average age is 33 years. Some pipes in cities along the eastern seaboard are nearly 200 years old. Some are even made of wood. The American Society of Civil Engineers has given America’s wastewater infrastructure a “D” grade overall. \nRUNAWAY DEVELOPMENT\nToday\, poorly planned development compounds the problem of aging infrastructure. As urban areas sprawl into the countryside\, new expanses of concrete and asphalt increase the amount of stormwater surging into sewers — and the amount of pollution spewing out. \nA single acre of wetlands can hold up to 1.5 million gallons of rain or melting snow. Otherwise it winds up in the sewer system.\nTrees help keep water out of sewer systems\, too. In fact\, the group American Forests estimates that as Washington\, D.C.’s tree canopy thinned by 43 percent between 1973 and 1997\, the amount of stormwater running into the city’s aging sewer system increased by 34 percent. \nOlder sewage systems combine stormwater with household sewage\, but even in systems where they are separated some stormwater ends up in the sewer\, where it contributes to raw sewage overflows. \nSOLUTIONS\nAll people deserve clean water free of the many dangerous pollutants found in sewage. The only way to ensure this is to stop sewage overflows and leaks and ensure that no sewage is released into our streams\, rivers\, and lakes untreated. It will cost hundreds of billions of dollars and take decades to update the nation’s wastewater infrastructure to this level. \nStreet-side swale and adjacent pervious concrete sidewalk in Seattle\, US. Stormwater is filtered through these features into soil\, reducing the runoff into city sewers.\nBut it isn’t enough to simply invest more. Protecting and expanding natural areas helps prevent stormwater from rushing into the sewer in the first place — stopping sewer overflows before they start. \nThat’s investing smarter. \nIn fact\, planting trees\, restoring wetlands\, and creating green roofs are often the most cost-effective ways to expand the capacity of sewer systems. \nA single mature tree with a thirty-foot crown can keep 4\,600 gallons of water out of the sewer each year. For less than $300\,000\, it’s possible to construct an artificial wetland that can intercept 3.25 million gallons of stormwater otherwise destined for the sewer. \nIn June 2003\, Ford Motor Company planted ten acres of vegetation on the roof of its Dearborn\, MI truck factory\, keeping as many as four million gallons of rain out of the sewer system each year. Projects like these prevent sewage overflows as surely as bigger pipes — and cost less. \nUntil we make significant progress towards reducing sewage in our water\, there must be strong notification programs that will alert people when there is a danger of contacting raw sewage. Wastewater facilities should be required to notify the media\, citizens\, and environmental agencies when they release untreated sewage into the environment. American Rivers works for federal and state right-to-know policies that require citizens to be informed of sewage contamination in their waterways. Not only will such programs keep people healthy by avoiding raw sewage\, but it will also galvanize further support for solutions to reduce sewage pollution. \nClean water. It’s essential. It’s irreplaceable. If Americans today want our children and grandchildren to splash along the shore at sunset or drink from the faucet without worry\, then it’s time for us to act. It’s time to make the commitment to keep raw sewage out of our wate

SUMMARY:Rent our Audubon Cabana and support The Audubon Center For Birds Of Prey
DESCRIPTION:Each time our Audubon Cabana is rented\, we donate the proceeds to The Audubon Center For Birds Of Prey. \nThe Birds Of Prey Center is located in Maitland\, FL. \n\n\nAudubon House and Center History\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Audubon House \n\nAudubon House\n\nThis house represents a typical veranda bungalow built in the 1920s by a builder named Patterson.  Most houses of this type have now been demolished or intensively renovated\, and few examples of this style of architecture remain. Located on the southeast shore of Lake Sybelia\, this two story wood frame house sits on 3 acres in Maitland\, Florida. \nMaitland is the historic home of Audubon in Florida; the first meeting was held March 2\, 1900 in a Dommerich neighborhood home less than two miles away. This first group of Audubon leaders included N.Y. Governor and later U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt\, Florida’s Governor\, Rollins College’s President\, Stetson University’s President\, and the editors of the state’s largest newspapers. \nThe Florida Audubon Society did not have a permanent home until long-time supporter and Florida Audubon board member\, Lisa von Borowsky\, purchased this Maitland property in 1959.  The property was one of the last remaining grove homes along the shores of Lake Sybelia.  Once under Audubon ownership\, the house served as a meeting place\, offices and gift shop. In the 1970s Doris Mager\, the gift shop manager\, began to care for the sick and injured birds of prey that were brought here by caring members of the community.  After receiving memorial funds from Madelyn Baldwin along with other donations\, the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey was opened on October 19\, 1979.  Today\, this property is the main site for Audubon education programs and offices.
