The Villages FloridaClimate change is real Evidence | Facts – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet and many people are changing the way they pollute the earth they live on. And, many are not. I am a huge advocate of reducing plastics. Hemp can replace any plastic item from material to build homes to paper, to clothing, to biodegradable bottles, etc. Hemp: A New Crop with New Uses for North America

We decided to move to The Villages, because of its height above sea level. Over the past 30 years, we have lived in areas of Florida that were the length of a spade shovel (not the handle, just the spade itself) above sea level to 6 feet above sea level. We got tired of having to evacuate during any hurricane that came from the south or the west (Gulf). Now we are about 95 feet above sea level. That took care of the flooding part. Now the concern is water quality. We were tired of seeing tons of dead fish, manatees, and water that you wouldn't dare go in, or drink.
