SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:The Advantages of Solar Power Can Bring Peace of Mind for Years to Come\nSolar energy technology has been around for decades. Solar offers a free\, reliable source  of power to run a wide range of devices\, from radios and wristwatches to powering your home. However\, many of us remain unclear about the advantages of solar power over other\, nonrenewable energy sources. \nSunrun is here to help you understand how solar can help you save on home energy costs. With Sunrun\, you can choose to only pay for the solar power\, not the solar panels\, or you can also buy out your system. As you weigh decisions about how to power your home\, consider five of the major advantages of solar power. \n5 Key Advantages to Solar Power:\n1. It saves on electric bills\nIf you’re facing rising electrical costs\, solar-powered electricity can offer you a cost-saving alternative. It also eliminates your dependence on your local utility company. Are you wondering if these panels work on cloudy days? No worries; the sun still emits energy through clear and cloudy skies. Solar power offers year-round efficiency and savings\, even in colder climates. Depending on the size of the system\, its efficiency and the how your home faces the sun\, some solar panels actually generate more electricity than your home consumes. This could decrease your monthly electric bill to zero. You can actually qualify for a rebate if your solar power system produces excess electricity. This depends on the area you live in\, so check with your area’s solar power guidelines. \n2. It qualifies for tax breaks\nSolar energy panels are become increasingly more affordable for homeowners through federal\, state and local tax breaks. In 2016\, homeowners were allowed to claim 30 percent of the cost of installing a new solar system in their home as a tax credit when they purchased a solar system. Taking these tax incentives into account\, it’s possible to recover all of your installation and equipment costs within five to 10 years\, according to National Geographic. \n3. Cost of going solar has dropped\nThe cost of solar power has dropped dramatically in recent years. Many homeowners who are planning to sell in a few years\, could make a smart investment by retrofitting with solar panels today. Panels require almost no maintenance\, since there are no moving parts to break down. Plus\, newly designed solar panels have slimmer profiles and sleek trims that blend much more seamlessly with traditional roofs. \n4. It benefits the environment\nGlobal climate change is a growing concern. Solar power reduces reliance on fossil fuels such as oil\, coal and natural gas. When fossil fuels are used to create electricity\, they produce harmful gas emissions that affect the safety of air\, water and soil. In contrast\, solar energy produces no pollution. The sun’s power offers an unlimited source of energy that does not strip the landscape or harm the ozone layer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends switching to renewable energy sources – since these systems emit lower carbon emissions. Solar energy systems represent an investment in the future of the planet\, conserving non-sustainable energy sources and protecting the environment for the next generation. \n5. It increases fuel independence\nDomestic oil reserves continue to decline\, so alternative energy sources are becoming more important than ever. Solar power reduces the nation’s critical reliance on foreign oil\, which is subject to dramatic cost fluctuations\, and diminishes the risk of power shortages caused by disruptions in overseas oil supplies. Because solar power offers clear benefits over conventional power sources\, more and more homeowners are making the switch to this clean\, safe and affordable energy source every year.

SUMMARY:Water Efficiency and Conservation
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\nACCOMPLISHING MORE WITH LESS\nWater efficiency accomplishes more with less by using the best available technology and using water in smarter and more innovative ways. Water efficiency is different from water conservation which\, while also important\, is generally more focused on changing behavior and habits like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth. \nWater efficiency isn’t about asking citizens to shower once a week or plant a cactus in the front yard. Water efficiency is about flushing high-efficiency toilets and growing your trees and flowers with rainwater or gray water instead of high quality drinking water. It is about sustaining a high quality of life. It is about using innovative and smart technology to use less water to accomplish the same work. \nWater efficiency is simply the most cost-effective and immediate way to ensure safe\, clean and available water for our families\, neighbors and businesses. \nSAVE WATER\, SAVE ENERGY\nIt is important to note that saving water in turn conserves energy. The treating\, transporting\, and heating of water all take some form of either electricity or gas power\, and those costs translate to rising rates on utility bills. According to the Alliance for Water Efficiency\, heating the water in your home uses approximately 15 percent of household energy\, and a third of the water we use is hot\, so re-thinking the way we use (and waste) our water could account for significant savings on more than just water bills. \nCOMMUNITIES AND WATER EFFICIENCY\nIncreasingly\, water-efficiency practices are being adopted by communities and businesses as they recognize that improvements in infrastructure can account for big economic savings. Here are four examples of water-efficient cities: \nBOSTON\, MASSACHUSETTS\nStarting in the 1980’s\, Boston successfully secured its needed water supply by reducing consumption from the 1980 peak of 125.5 billion gallons to 70.9 billion gallons in 2009\, a 43% reduction. \nThe city spent $40 million dollars\, but avoided $500 million dollars in costs by choosing to reduce their demand instead of increasing supplies. This was done using simple techniques such as repairing leaks\, requiring low-flow toilets in new construction\, and retrofitting homes with efficient plumbing fixtures. \nTUCSON\, ARIZONA\nThe city of Tucson has dramatically reduced residential water usage during the past 18 years; from a high of 121 gallons per capita per day in 1996\, to only 86 in 2014.  This is a reduction of 35 GPCD\, or 28.9%\, over 18 years. \nThe city of Tucson has been proactive in encouraging water conservation by offering a wide range of rebates and incentive programs to residential and commercial customers. Their mascot and spokesduck\, Pete the Beak\, has been encouraging children and adults to save water for decades. \nDENVER\, COLORADO\nDenver’s water use in 2014 was equal to that of 1973\, when there were 350\,000 fewer people. Denver residents use 82 GPCD for all indoor and outdoor purposes\, utility data show\, down from 104 GPCD in 2001. This was achieved through measures such as replacing thousands of toilets in Denver Public Schools\, the ceaseless “Use Only What You Need” campaign\, rebates on water- saving appliances\, tiered water rates\, and summer watering restrictions. In 2015\, Denver Water leaders set a new target for 1.3 million customers: 30 gallons a day for indoor use. \nSANTA BARBARA\, CALIFORNIA\nIn the wake of the California drought\, the City of Santa Barbara has reduced their water consumption by 35.3% since 2013\, far surpassing the conservation standard of 12% set by the State Water Resource Control Board. \nTheir approach has included multiple water rate increases\, public outreach and education campaigns\, increased leak detection\, residential check-ups\, and rebates for water-efficient plumbing. Additionally\, they recently hosted a Water Conservation Summit\, are actively celebrating ‘Water Heroes’ in the community\, and even provide a webpage for anonymous water waste reporting. \nWATER EFFICIENCY IN THE SOUTHEAST: A “HIDDEN RESERVOIR”\nThe Southeast United States faces unprecedented challenges to its water supply. Growing populations and the impacts of climate change are putting new strains on communities and their rivers. Our local leaders are facing the pressing question of how to ensure a clean\, reliable water supply for current and future generations. \nTraditionally\, building more dams and reservoirs was the first and only answer to water supply problems. But these 19th century approaches should not be the primary solutions for our new 21st century challenges. They don’t address the root problem — water is finite and we are not using the water we do have wisely. \nRelying solely on building large new dams is not cost-effective and it won’t solve today’s water needs. Per gallon\, dams cost up to 8500 times more than water efficiency investments. Dams are fixed in one place and hold a limited amount of water. Even when we do get sufficient rains to fill reservoirs\, these giant pools can lose tremendous amounts of water through evaporation. \nFor these reasons\, building new dams should be the absolute last alternative for solving our water supply needs. “Hidden Reservoir\,” a report by American Rivers\, makes the case that water efficiency is our best source of affordable water and must be the backbone of water supply planning. By implementing the nine water efficiency policies outlined in this report\, communities across the Southeast can secure cost-effective and timely water supply. Read the report \nSOLUTIONS\nAmerican Rivers advocates at the national\, state and local levels for water efficiency and low impact supply solutions that provide cheaper\, faster\, and more reliable water than costly and harmful new dams and other short-sighted water storage projects. And we work to protect the water flowing in rivers\, so that it can continue to nourish our communities for years to come. \nHOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT HOME\nFix leaks inside and outside of your house. A one-drop-per-second leak can add up to as much as 2\,700 gallons of water wasted in a year. \nUse rain or gray water to grow the plants in your yard\, rather than using high-quality potable water. \nReplace old equipment like toilets\, faucets\, dishwashers and washing machines with high-efficiency\, Energy Star and WaterSense-labeled appliances. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists rebate programs by state available to help defray the cost of new appliances\, and you can discover your potential savings here. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:National Sunglasses Day
DESCRIPTION:We are really big Sunglass fans at Wekiva Island! We proudly sell Costa Del Mars in The Tooting Otter. We are proud of the commitment Costa Del Mar has made to protecting our environment….Come in and pick your perfect pair! \nCOSTA’S COMMITMENT\nCosta was #BornOnTheWater by a group of fishermen in 1983. Since then\, we have supported causes that contribute to the preservation of our watery world. It’s part of our DNA. \nLately we’ve seen an increasing amount of plastic pollution on our adventures. Plastic is not only clogging our landfills but is finding its way into our waterways and oceans at an unprecedented rate. Kick Plastic was launched by Costa to help reduce the amount of plastic we use as a company and to mobilize a movement. You can help… \nWHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW\n\n\n\nThe equivalent of a garbage truck of plastic is dumped into the ocean every minute.\nAlmost all the plastic ever produced is still around.\n98% of ocean pollution comes from land.\n\n\n\n\nBy 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean (by weight).\nOne in four fish tested have plastic in them.

SUMMARY:Alligator Snapping Turtles
DESCRIPTION:Alligator snapping turtles are sometimes described as dinosaur-like because of their spiky shells and primitive-looking faces. They have three pointed ridges along their shells that run from head to tail. Unlike all other species of snapping turtle\, this one has eyes on the sides of its head. \nThe alligator snapping turtle is the largest species of freshwater turtle. Males typically weigh between 155 and 175 pounds (70 and 80 kilograms). It is said that a 400-pound (180-kilogram) alligator snapping turtle was caught in Kansas in 1937\, but there isn’t sufficient evidence to confirm the claim. \n\n\nRANGE \nAlligator snapping turtles are found exclusively in the United States\, from northern Florida to eastern Texas and as far north as Iowa. They are almost exclusively aquatic\, and tend to stay submerged and motionless for so long that algae begins to grow on their shells. They can go 50 minutes before needing to surface for a gulp of air. Except for egg-laying females\, these turtles almost never come on land. River systems\, lakes\, and wetland comprise their preferred habitats. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDIET \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheir specially adapted tongue allows them to catch prey with little work—a lure-like projection of the tongue attracts curious fish that swim right into the turtle’s mouth. To attract an unsuspecting victim\, this turtle will lay on the bottom of the riverbed and open his jaws to reveal what looks like a delicious bright red wriggling worm\, luring prey by fiendishly twitching this appendage back and forth. A fish that gets duped by the turtle’s tongue will swim right into the range of the hungry predator’s jaws. \nThey can also actively search for prey by tasting chemicals in the water that are indicative of a particular species. This way\, even when their prey is hiding in the sediment\, they can still sense them. \n\n\nBEHAVIOR \nThese solitary reptiles spend much of their time in the water—even capable of holding their breath for 40 to 50 minutes. They venture onto land to nest with females. Correlated with a solitary lifestyle\, there is little structure and no parental care to their young. \n\n\nLIFE HISTORY \nAdults mate in the spring and females lay eggs two months later. The eggs hatch after 100 to 140 days. The incubation temperature of the nest determines the gender of the offspring—females develop in warmer temperatures and males develop in cooler temperatures. The newly hatched turtles are similar to the adults in appearance. Eggs and juveniles are consumed by fish\, raccoons\, and birds\, but the only predator of fully grown adults is humans. Reproductive maturity is reached at 11 to 13 years. The turtle’s typical lifespan in the wild is between 11 and 45 years\, but captive alligator snapping turtles have lived to 70 years of age. \n\n\nCONSERVATION \nAlligator snapping turtles are declining due to habitat degradation and overharvesting for their meat. They are not an endangered species\, but some states have imposed bans on collecting them from the wild. \n\n\nFUN FACT \nSome myths claim that alligator snapping turtles are known to attack people\, but this isn’t the case. But with a bite force of 1\,000 pounds\, their powerful jaws can snap through bone—so they should never be handled in the wild.

SUMMARY:The Great Egret
DESCRIPTION:We have a favorite Great Egret we like to call “George”. You can often find “George” checking the bushes for a snack. \nDid you know that the Great Egret was nearly wiped out in the United States in the late 1800s\, when its plumes were sought for use in fashion\, the Great Egret made a comeback after early conservationists put a stop to the slaughter and protected its colonies; as a result\, this bird became the symbol of the National Audubon Society.

SUMMARY:Florida Friendly Landscaping
DESCRIPTION:We only plant Native Florida plants here on The Island including\, Tick Seed\, Fire Brush\, Cypress Trees\, Florida Anise\, Lantana\, Sea Grapes\, Saw Palmetto\, Milk Weed\, Fakahatchee Grass and Black Eyed Susans. \nWhy is Native Planting so important? \nNative plants work for you\n  \n\nPest reduction. Professional native landscaping helps reduce pests naturally by attracting the right bugs and wildlife. Birds\, butterflies\, and bats eat pests and help your landscaping thrive. Florida’s bug-friendly climate makes natural insect control especially appealing.\nWater conservation. Native Florida plants require less irrigation and help keep stormwater runoff from damaging our ecosystem. When your native landscaping requires less water\, you save money while knowing that you’re making a positive impact on the local environment.\nPollution reduction. With the right Florida-friendly landscaping\, the need for fertilizer and pesticides is greatly reduced. Because native plants thrive naturally\, they require fewer chemicals that can damage the environment.\n\nNative plants keep our bodies of water healthier\nIn Florida\, every body of water is important. From beautiful beaches to underground springs\, water systems are crucial to Florida’s industry and image. At Pridgen\, we strive for native Florida landscaping that complements local bodies of water. Even small lakes and watersheds are served best by native plant life\, both in and around the water. Native Florida plants benefit bodies of water by fostering wildlife\, reducing water pollution and encouraging proper drainage. \n
