Comments on: Conservation Organizations File Suit Against Phosphate Mine http://floridatreehugger.com/2010/07/09/conservation-organizations-file-suit-against-phosphate-mine/ if you don't save the planet, where are you going to put all your stuff?

As Associate Editor of a newspaper, I can assure you that I check my facts diligently, although this piece was submitted by the president of one of our environmental groups. However, I can assure you Mosiac has been an ongoing issue with several of our local county commissioners, and Mr. Daltry's opinion is highly respected in our community. By the way, my family aided in draining the Everglades - also in the 1800's - and some of them still work for Big Sugar. Just because something was done a long time ago doesn't make it right.

There has been mining along the Peace since 1800's and its still flowing. If you people would get your facts right you would know that the mining companies have changed the way that they go about the mining process. Lake Hancock is the headwaters of the Peace River and they are mining 25-30 miles South of that lake. the water quality of hancock is the worst in the county along with banana lake that flows in to hancock. please if your going to bash the mining company get your facts right dont just believe what the other "treehuggers" write.
