Let's hear about the mysterious Florida Bigfoot, believed to be the revered guardian of Florida's wildlife. Journey with us deeper, as we unravel ways to truly honor and connect with Mother Earth. Beginning by paying homage to the ancestral lands under our feet and appreciating the people they've seen. Grasp the depth of wisdom urging us to not just give back what we receive from nature but to recognize the immense energy she sacrifices for us. Hear with your heart an poem to you connect with nature... and in these critical times when our planet and our Florida waters are threaten by multiple challenges, listen to those who are speaking up, and be inspired to also become an Earth Guardian. Sign the petition: https://www.floridarighttocleanwater.org/ 🌏 "Life" poem written and performed by Sumaya Quitugua Shingle Creek words of support by Robert Rosa and Chris Castillo 🌻 Bigfoot, also known as the Swamp cabbage man, Mayaka skunk, and Florida skunk ape, is a mysterious yet benevolent creature believed to reside in the Florida swamps, often helping other animals in need. One of the key environmental concerns highlighted in the episode is the potential impact of radioactive mining waste. The state of Florida has recently signed a bill allowing roads to be made with this waste, despite the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stating that it is potentially linked to cancer and describing it as radioactive. This decision raises concerns about the long-term effects on the environment and human health. The runoff from these roads could further pollute the water that flows into lakes and eventually into the Gulf, exacerbating the already existing issue of water pollution. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-radioactive-roads-phosphogypsum-potentially-cancer-causing-mining-waste-bill-signed-ron-desantis/ Another pressing issue discussed in the episode is the importance of preserving wetlands. Wetlands play a crucial role in the ecosystem by filtering water and providing habitat for a diverse range of species. However, the ongoing development in Florida is threatening these wetlands. The loss of wetlands not only disrupts the delicate balance of the ecosystem but also contributes to increased flooding in the area. The wetlands act as natural buffers, absorbing excess water during heavy rainfall. Without them, the risk of flooding becomes even greater. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-epa-clean-water-act/ The episode also highlights the alarming record number of manatee deaths. Manatees, beloved marine mammals, are suffering due to the pollution and degradation of their habitat. This serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for collective action to protect and preserve the environment for future generations. https://www.tampabay.com/news/environment/2023/01/11/800-florida-manatees-died-2022-starvation-lingers-most-survived-red-tide/ The episode concludes with a powerful message, urging listeners to treat Mother Earth with kindness and love, and to give more then we receive, as we all have a responsibility to honor and give back to the power that gave us life.
