#Composting program to provide #Everglades with soil for #CommunityGarden

by Martin Vassolo, March 12, 2025

"Your food scraps could be used to help support the Everglades through a new partnership between the village of #PinecrestFL and the #MiccosukeeTribe.

"Instead of dumping #FoodWaste into crowded #landfills, which produce #methane emissions, the #EvergladesEarthCycleProject will expand Pinecrest's residential composting program and deliver nutrient-rich soil to the #Miccosukee Tribe.

"Driving the news: The project, funded with a $400,000 federal grant and other contributions, calls for installing four new #CompostingBins in Pinecrest and three around #MiamiDade County District 7.

"The initial phase of the program will supply compost to the #SwampyMeadows #CommunityGarden, which grows vegetables just outside the Miccosukee Indian School.

"Another proposal that's been floated is adding new soil to the Everglades' tree islands, though that would need tribal approval, says the Rev. Houston R. Cypress of the #LoveTheEverglades Movement, a partner in the program.

"Cypress told reporters on an airboat ride through the Everglades last week that the tribe teaches 'the essence of being in harmony with nature is giving back to it.'

"'With the Everglades Earth Cycle Project, we're giving back clean and healthy soil; we're giving products that might eventually improve the water quality out here, but we're also giving directly back to local indigenous communities here,' he said.

"Pinecrest already has two free public composting bins, one at the Pinecrest Public Library and another between the Community Center and Pinecrest Gardens."

They are grabbing DACA recipients in Miami-Dade for quick deportation.
These fooking rats are cruel.

This program is about 75% Hispanic. It is unfair to others - it is also a pull factor; selectively rewarding unaccompanied children to risk their lives with smugglers.

NBC 6 South Florida · Miami-Dade teacher with DACA faces deportation after being detained by ICEBy NBC6
Continued thread

Doral Florida, a suburb of Miami-Dade is led by Hispanic Republicans who support Trump and did everything they could to enlist the voters in their community to vote for Trump.

Leaders like Christi Fraga, mayor of Doral, to this day still says she supports Trump's approach to immigration.

If there's a photo op with Trump happening in Miami, Mayor Christi Fraga seems eager to be a part of it.

Several South Florida local governments have submitted applications to a program that would formalize ties between local and regional law enforcement agencies and the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), WLRN has learned.

Miami-Dade County previously applied to ICE's 287(g) program in 2022, and the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office applied to join the program within “the last couple of days,” the office said.
