Florida Anti-Pipeline Activists to Hold Day of Protest Across State
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Florida, activists opposing construction of the Sabal Trail natural
gas pipeline are holding a series of protests across the state today.
Environmentalists say the $3 billion, 500-mile pipeline threatens the
Floridan aquifer, which supplies drinking water to about 10 million
people. Water protectors have set up four camps along the pipeline's
route, from which they're organizing resistance to the project.
