Parkland’s second annual Environmental Fair will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Aug. 22 at the Parkland Municipal Complex, 6600 University Drive.
Participants will gain information on the effects of energy saving programs, and goods and services that reduce energy consumption and emissions. Residents will be provided with ideas on how to create Florida-friendly, water conservation minded, landscapes and how to establish more sustainable urban ecosystems by using landscaping best management practices to meet their needs.
Florida Power and Light representatives will be on hand to demonstrate the easiest and most effective ways to conserve energy and learn about common causes for high bills and solutions to help you control your energy usage and lower bills. Waste Management will answer questions on garbage and recycling.
With South Florida in the middle of very serious drought conditions, the South Florida Water Management District will also be on hand to express why every resident and business needs to do their part to conserve water now and in the future. There will also be environmental and energy educational activities and programs for kids of all ages.

We can not have just FPL participate on environmental fair. If they are paying for it, say it so. I believe we should involve renewable enegy company into something like this. Last time I check FPL uses coal and oil to produce electricity. I can't see them being in our side. We need to expend this conversation. We have to understand, FPL can not continue to be the only player on this.
