Dear Community Members,

It is important to acknowledge that the lifestyle choices each of us make play a pivotal role in determining the direction of ecology and sustainability in our beautiful state of Florida. Our collective actions, from the products we bring into our homes to the plants we cultivate in our backyards, and the energy sources we select, significantly impact the environmental future of Florida. Even our weekend leisure activities can be designed to leave a lighter ecological footprint.

Together we can create a positive impact and nurture a sustainable, eco-friendly future in the Sunshine State. In this newsletter, you'll discover practical ways to make a lasting difference through your daily household choices.

Let's contribute together,
DIG Team

The Florida Coast-to-Coast Trail (C2C) is a 250-mile paved multi-use trail project that spans the state, connecting the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean through various communities. It's managed by multiple agencies, coordinated by the Coast-to-Coast Trail Alliance under the Office of Greenways and Trails. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has declared October 2023 as Florida Greenways and Trails Month, inviting residents and visitors to explore these trails for activities like walking, running, cycling, and paddling. These trails offer open spaces for families to bond, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors, promoting better fitness and well-being.
