(Above) Florida is facing significant environmental challenges as new housing developments continue to expand. Mattamy Homes is building the population of the houses and areas
continues to grow driven by factors like its warm climate and economic opportunities. This has led to a surge in demand for new homes. Unfortunately, this growth often comes at the expense of Florida’s ecosystems. The green that everyone knows Florida has is slowly disappearing under the sand and
bricks of the homes with no social connection. The house market has exploded, and to be fair, it was in a reasonable way. The houses are selling higher than what they were originally listed at, but somewhere in the owner feels bad taking away everything that isn’t there.

something new. So in the future,
hopefully they will stick with
it and love it as much as I do.”
After talking to the athletes they
started to follow his instructions

or just practicing by themselves.
