Brightline has partnered with The Everglades Foundation to celebrate its joint commitment to restore and protect the Everglades and South Florida’s freshwater.
The partnership includes the installation of educational materials throughout Brightline’s South Florida stations and aims to spotlight the Everglades’ crucial role in supplying clean water to millions of South Floridians, raising awareness and inspiring action to preserve this one-of-a-kind ecosystem.
Sustainability is one of Brightline’s core pillars, and the company is excited to embark upon its first green partnership to bring attention to one of Florida’s most important natural resources. Five million Floridians — including four Brightline stations — and countless tourists, get their drinking water from the Everglades. Millions more depend on a healthy Everglades for their recreation, tourism and real estate industries.
The Everglades also is home to more than 70 federally threatened or endangered species and includes 14 National Wildlife Refuges and four National Parks, including Everglades National Park – a World Heritage Site, a UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve, and a Wetland of International Importance. Florida’s economy is driven by tourism, and a healthy Everglades benefits everyone.
“It is vital to educate everyone in South Florida on the critical role the Everglades plays in our lives,” said Eric Eikenberg, CEO of The Everglades Foundation. “Our new partnership with Brightline will help raise awareness among residents and tourists about this unique ecosystem, which provides invaluable resources, including our most important one — drinking water. Restoring the Everglades is not just about protecting natural beauty; it’s about securing our future and ensuring a sustainable environment for generations to come.”
Patrick Goddard, president of Brightline, said, “At Brightline, we are deeply committed to the communities we serve, and that commitment extends to preserving the natural resources that sustain all of us. Partnering with The Everglades Foundation reflects our dedication to sustainability and our belief in the power of collective action to make a lasting impact.”
