					<description><![CDATA[St. Petersburg has received a $20,000 grant from the Urban Land Institute to help refine the city&#8217;s climate action plan to help handle coastal vulnerabilities and the threat of sea level rise. The grant comes from the ULI&#8217;s Urban Resilience Program, which enhances the long-term sustainability and livability of communities by helping them better withstand the detrimental impacts of climate change, including the ability to quickly and safely recover from severe weather-related events.

					<description><![CDATA[St. Pete Mayor Rick Kriseman took a jab at one of his predecessors during a recent interview on the SPF 15 podcast. “I served on City Council from 2000 to 2006 and that was kind of a period of time that was described as … our first real Renaissance,” Kriseman said. He was asked how the city is “managing this growth in a considerate manner.” Kriseman’s answer in a nutshell: We weren’t, but now we are. The dig is directed&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Whether it&#8217;s the construction of green buildings, pushing more public transit, or investing in sustainable infrastructure, the Sunshine State is practically flunking when it comes to energy efficiency. That’s according to a new scorecard by a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy has issued grades to Florida&#8217;s four largest cities. Jacksonville got a 26 out of 100 for efficiency. That puts it 40th out of the 51 cities surveyed. Tampa&#8217;s at 42, with an even lower score of 25,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As businesses worldwide begin taking a closer look at sustainability — in energy, materials, and waste – one major company in Florida is taking the lead in environmental responsibility. On Tuesday, The Mosaic Company released its 2014 Sustainability Report, titled &#8220;Leading with Purpose.&#8221; In it, the Polk County-based company, one of the world’s leading producers of agricultural nutrients, outlined both last year&#8217;s past progress in sustainability and set new goals for 2020.
