How about heading to Flagler Beach to help make a statement?
"Hands Across the Sand" --a movement started in Florida in February 2010, now turned into a national and global movement, for protection of our coastal economies, oceans, marine wildlife, and fishing industry.
Here is how you can participate in this wonderful event:
STEP 1: Go to Flagler Beach at 11 AM for one hour, rain or shine.
STEP 2: Join hands for 15 minutes at 12:00 noon, forming lines
in the sand against oil drilling in our coastal waters.
STEP 3: Leave only your footprints.
Aside from Flagler Beach, a similar event will also be held in Marineland, at the Washington Oaks Gardens State Park. Participation in the event is also available in the neighboring counties and elsewhere in Florida, as well as in other states and select international locations.
