The League of Women Voters of Florida supports state legislation for energy conservation and greater use of renewable sources like solar energy. The League supports policies that promote conservation of freshwater and its availability for environmental, public, agricultural, industrial, and mining uses on a priority basis. The League of Women Voters also supports legislation to ban oil and gas drilling off Florida’s coast, as well as funding for public transportation.
The League of Women Voters believes in promoting that Florida’s environment is beneficial to the life of every Floridian through the protection and wise management of natural resources in the public interest by recognizing the interrelationship of air quality, energy, land use, waste management, and waste resources.
We believe in promoting resource conservation, stewardship, and long-range planning, with the responsibility for managing natural resources shared by all levels of government. The League of Women Voters of Florida supports public policies that provide for cooperative, coordinated planning for and decisions about land use in Florida including methods for resolution of conflicts.
