Join the Movement: Clean Up Efforts to Preserve Our Waters
Join the Clean Up Florida Waters Initiative
This July, Florida Realtors and dedicated volunteers across the state invite everyone to join the Clean Up Florida Waters initiative. This effort aims to protect the state's beautiful beaches, lakes, and waterways from pollution and litter, making a substantial difference in local environments.
Last Year’s Impressive Impact
In the previous year's commitment to this vital cause, participants managed to collect an astonishing 32 tons of trash, illustrating their dedication to safeguarding Florida's natural treasures. This amount of waste is similar to that produced by a fully loaded garbage truck, underscoring the significant impact of these clean-up efforts.
2024 Clean Up Events by Florida Realtors
During the 2024 Clean Up Florida Waters events, which involved 141 separate activities spanning 185 miles, a remarkable 3,040 volunteers logged in over 520 hours of service. The tireless efforts of these individuals bore fruit, as they were able to gather 41% more debris compared to the 2023 initiative.
Community Involvement and Collaboration
Tim Weisheyer, the President of Florida Realtors, emphasized the importance of preserving Florida's stunning beaches and waterways, which attract countless residents and tourists alike. He stated, 'Each of us has the power to make a difference. By joining forces, we can ensure that everyone enjoys our waterways for years to come.'
Continuing the Legacy of Cleanliness
Now in its fifth year, this statewide cleanup encourages both Realtors and local inhabitants to organize community events aimed at cleaning up trash along lakes, rivers, streams, and oceanic coastlines. These efforts support not only the environment but also foster community spirit by engaging residents in a shared goal.
Partnerships for a Cleaner Florida
The initiative promotes cooperation with various environmental organizations. Partnerships with groups like the Coastal Conservation Association, local chapters, and state Waterkeepers provide vital support and resources, amplifying the cleanup impact.
Gold Sun Level Partner Recognition
Florida Realtors holds the prestigious designation of a Gold Sun Level partner with Keep Florida Beautiful, a recognition that enables its local affiliates to collaborate significantly on cleanwater projects.
Support and Sponsorship
Stellar MLS plays a crucial role as the main sponsor for the Clean Up Florida Waters, with further support coming from various organizations including Real MLS and Coastal Conservation Association.
