Stop Phosphate mining in Florida. SAVE OUR STATE

The Issue

Phosphate Mining had lead to over 1,000,000 Acres of Floridas natural beauty to be destroyed & is the direct cause of why BILLIONS of sea creatures, manatees, dolphins, sharks, sera turtles, fish, ECT, have been DYING.
The byproduct created by processing phosphorus is the real problem here.
The environmental protection agency says its too radioactive to be buried.

So what do they do? They build these giant 500 foot tall stacks called gypsum stacks.
There are 25 of these Gypsum Stacks in Florida.
Mosaic has absolutely no plan to dispose of this toxic liquid, just store it until their stacks give out, & Florida turns into a toxic waste dump struggling to survive.
I august of 2016 a huge sinkhole opened up on a Gyb stack and hundreds of millions of gallons of toxic radioactive water poured directly into Florida aquifer.
Another sinkhole opened up on top of this same Gyb-stack in 2004.

1997 50 million gallons of waste water spilled into the leafy river.
It was compared to the acidity of battery acid.
It killed everything for 50 miles. Anything alive in this river died.
That happened in polk county.


Now were witnessing over 200 million gallons of waste water that was INTENTIONALLY DUMPED into Tampa bay to prevent “catastrophic Flooding” for a nearby neighborhood.
We have known about this potential problem since 2003 and our government didn’t do anything about it.

The company responsible is Mosaic.

9 billion dollars in revenue last year.

They are the biggest fertilizer producer in the world.
in 2016 one of the biggest sinkholes ever opened up.
It took them 2 years to fix the hole.

Now look at Tampa bay, one of the most famous cities on the entire planet is a toxic waste dump.
There are islands of dead fish in Tampa bay right now.

This is Capitalism gone wrong.

This is corruption, these are people that only care about making money.

 


We will run out of phosphate eventually.
Theres a lot of claims stating the agricultural industry couldn’t exist without it.
Well we're gonna have to figure it out out, we’ve survived as humans for thousands of years without phosphorus fertilizer, & we will run out eventually so why even keep this up if its singlehandedly killing billions of fish & sea creatures?
Oh yeah. Because we live in a world where 1 billionaire has more of a say than millions of people.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
