Florida’s Environmental Focus

Floridians are often concerned about the natural environment of the state.  According to the 2017 USF-Nielsen Sunshine State Survey conducted by the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of South Florida, residents of Florida viewed the environment as one of the most important issues in Florida in 2017 and the preceding two years.  Of the environmental concerns that ranked the highest:

• Twenty percent listed the loss of land for wildlife.
• Seventeen percent were most concerned with invasive species.
• Sixteen percent ranked water-related problems at the top of their list.
• Fifteen percent were concerned about rising sea levels.
• Eleven percent were primarily worried about the expansion of landfills and hazardous waste.

Accordingly, many South Floridians in South Miami and Miami-Dade County expend time and resources on environmental protectionism.

South Miami Green Programs

South Miami has a couple environmental programs that demonstrate its “going green” agenda. For example, the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program, which is available in other parts of Florida that comprise the “Green Corridor” (South Miami, Coral Gables, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, and Cutler Bay).  The program seeks to offset the capital needs of home improvements that either conserve energy or that produce renewable energy.  These energy upgrades of homes generally include things like solar panels and wind generators to create energy and insulation or shutters to reduce consumption levels.  Because homeowners can repay the capital improvement over ten, fifteen, or even twenty years through an adjustment of their property taxes, these environmentally conscious investments become much more equitable.
