Part 7/9:
The Struggle for Clean Water: Rallying for Change
Residents frustrated by the government's delayed responses have turned to activism in hopes of restoring their waterways. The rallying cry "Buy the land" reflects a desperate need for political will to push for significant solutions. Many advocate for creating a water flow pathway through the Everglades to alleviate the polluted water crisis plaguing the coasts. However, the economic implications of such infrastructure projects are daunting, with some estimates suggesting they may cost taxpayers billions, thus complicating the political landscape.
