This thing is taking on a life of it's own. I truly believe this can change the direction of our nation if we get behind it. We can really do some education out there.
I want people to bring ziplocs of dirt labeled with where the dirt came from. We will send the bags to Florida to build a symbolic levee with dirt from all over the USA like we did water to the Klamath. Come to Tracy if you can and bring your contribution to the Sawgrass levee.
Re the dirt... Helluva nice thought and I would love to contribute but there is a problem with the idea. One should be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN not to have living Phytophthora ramorum algae (sudden oak death syndrome) or any other living pest species (including weed seed) that is exotic to the Everglades in the dirt. I don't know if microwaving it would sterilize the spores but you really don't want to be blamed for bringing that problem to Florida, much less the Everglades. If a problem ever developed (and you can be sure that they will find one and if they don't plant one), it would be used against you FOREVER.
Frankly, I don't think it's a responsible idea. Could you please tell me who is coordinating it and I will tell them the same thing.
Re Tracy, I plan to be there.
