Florida Earth Foundation is a not for profit, public-private partnership that promotes natural resource initiatives in South Florida. Florida Earth provides an “honest broker” service to Florida and brings people together by education and discussion on a foundational central theme of "stewardship" by addressing four Focal Points:

1. Growth and Land Use – In order to have as much land as possible available for conservation and preservation for open space, Florida must develop different ways to distribute an ever increasing population base.  Key to this focal point is making population centers, whether existing or yet to be developed, denser than the current pattern that tends to promote sprawl.
2. Water – Both in quality and quantity, water will be a limiting factor for the Florida of the future.
3. Energy – Efforts to provide safe, affordable energy from many sectors is an important part of Florida’s future.  Land use becomes an issue if acreage is used to produce energy sources.  Our forests and agricultural lands have been shown to be carbon sinks that mitigate energy by-products.
4. Mobility – Florida’s future will depend, in large part, on how we go from place to place.  The next fifty years will see monumental changes in mobility and Florida has the choice in being a leader in the development of sustainable mobility systems or continuing the same path that leads to more congestion on highways and the other woes about which Floridians are becoming increasingly vocal. 

These Focal points all have huge impacts on Florida's environment and are considered in areas such as the context of global climate change.  To address these Focal Points, Florida Earth has developed and currently administers five projects and programs, all with a over-riding of theme of education first.  With over 70 partners and over 50 corporate members, the resources to available to the organization are considerable and offer a wealth of opportunity for interested parties to become engaged in learning about Florida’s natural resource science and issues. Using this approach, participants are better prepared to discuss the aspects of Florida’s future.
