POPSWhy Not Build a Lowe's Store In The Everglades? 
The 18,000-square-mile "River of Grass" is not a swamp but a unique and vital ecosystem. In 2000, Florida and federal government embarked on a $10 billion, 20-year project to restore the Everglades: This project would work to fix a half-century's worth of draining, diversion and other damage that development had wreaked on one of the world's most delicate but vital eco-systems, and return it to something like its original state. But post-9/11, the Everglades fell down the priority list of the Bush Administration and Congress alike. Today the project is less than half finished, years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget. Last year Congress had to override President Bush's veto of a $20 billion water preservation bill that included a sorely needed $2 billion for the Everglades. Letting Lowe's build beyond the UDB could diminish the urgency of the Everglades and welcome more developers to push their way in. This is the time to step up and push back!
