Cedar Key is running out of drinking water and wants to take some from their neighboring communities.

Our guest Chad Crawford is a Florida native and creator and host of the popular "How to do Florida" TV Show. He also created the "Flip My Florida Yard" show and "Protect Our Paradise" docuseries. Check out Chad's new podcast, "Sunshine Junkie."

Chad's "Flip My Florida" yard show focuses on using native and Florida friendly plants and landscaping designs to create a lawn that doubles as habitat for insects, birds, and animals, filters and cleans storm water, reduces the need for fertilizers and pesticides, and mitigates flooding. Here are the 9 principles of a Florida friendly landscape. If you can't get Chad to come out and flip your Florida yard, your local Florida Native Plant Society chapter or Florida native plant nursery can help.
