John,

Burnett Oil wants a 30 year permit to drill in the Everglades on sacred Seminole land.

It would not only endanger the water supply for millions of Floridians, but also an incredible, unique ecosystem home to Florida panthers, black bears, and the largest American alligator!

The Department of the Interior can still put a block on the plans. Click below to join our friends at Florida Rising in saying NO to drilling in the Everglades:

There are already two oil drilling sites in the Big Cypress National Preserve, but that’s not enough for Burnett — it wants to expand and develop entirely new areas in precious wetland area — and adjacent to a reservation of the Miccosukee Tribe.

And this isn’t a company that can be trusted — even though the early exploration required them to offset for damage — they drove 33-ton vehicles off-road through Preserve wetlands, and four years later have still not done anything to compensate.

The Biden administration says it will conduct a comprehensive review of federal oil and gas permitting. This Florida oil rush should be blocked until that review is complete — and until the concerns of the affected Tribes are addressed. Say NO to drilling in the Everglades:
