More than 30 residents of Lake Okeechobee’s Glades Communities gathered for the “Stop The Burn!Go Green Harvest! Community Workshop,” on December 3, in Belle Glade. Leaders of the Stop Sugar Field Burning Campaign team, based in South Bay and Belle Glade, gave a series of inspiring presentations about their campaign to end the harmful, outdated practice of pre-harvest sugarcane burning and switch to the burn-free, modern alternative of “green harvesting.”
