This week on Decision Florida we talk about the sun, the sand and the water. Yes, really. Florida’s environment is one of our biggest assets -- and biggest political issues. From rising seas to water quality, septic tanks to solar power, John Davis from WGCU and Tom Hudson from WLRN host this week's discussion on how the 2016 elections can shape our environment. Jennifer Granholm, former Michigan governor and Hillary Clinton campaign surrogate, weighs in on how the Democratic candidate sees the threat of climate change and how it can be an economic opportunity for communities in Florida. Ed Russo, president of the Florida Keys Environmental Coalition and Donald Trump campaign surrogate, explains why he has called the Republican presidential candidate "a highly respected environmentalist" and how, in his eyes, the solution to environmental challenges lies in local action instead of more governmental intervention.
