As governor, I understand a healthy economy is dependent upon a healthy environment. Florida’s residents and businesses rely on
clean water, clean air and open spaces for tourism, commerce, agriculture and recreation. That’s why protecting our natural resources through a stable regulatory environment is key to ensuring businesses are successful and future generations will be able to enjoy all that our state has to offer. –“Florida’s Natural Resources: The State’s Economic Engine,” Governor Rick Scott According to Governor Scott, why is protecting Florida’s environment important? to enable businesses to expand greatly to support the state’s business interests to ensure that regulations are sufficient to prevent all economic decline
The reason why it's important to protect Florid'as environment is to support the state’s business interests. Because of Florida's environments and natural resources, it attracts a lot of tourists. In Florida, they receive a lot of tourists every year because of the land, the land attracts people to go visit Florida. And Florida is using tourism and business for the economy. If the land was destroyed or not taken care of, tourists would not want to go to Florida and Florida would lose a lot of money because of it.
