Are you Breakin' the Law?

[StephanieVegas]

Do you LIVE or WORK in Florida?

Ever Hear of Title 22 in CA? (No, not Proposition 8) It states it is illegal to throw away CFLs in ANY regular old trashcan. Nice law, yes, probably a good thing, but difficult & is it ever enforced?

In FL, there are oodles of laws protecting Sea Turtles related to Lighting.

Check out the MAP here & see if you can sleep at night knowing you are in complicance.

Axiom NZ manufactures Sea Turtle Compliant lighting, FYI.

Would love to hear from Florida people how they see this law affecting the sign industry?

It is pretty much complied with on a voluntary basis. When you walk the beach the turtle nests are marked out as soon as they are laid and watched by groups for the duration. Its not something most here think of as an imposition.

Met a guy last night from NE FL who said his brother is Fish & Wildlife officer who guards nests against poachers!

We are workign with University of FL to help non-profits & schools get AXIOM LEDs (amber) in their buildings to protect sea turtles. Many are not aware lights across the street & inland can still hurt wildlife.

Thanks for reply! Any info/contacts you can provide will help along sea coast.
