Plant. Recycle. Reduce. Plant. Protect. Then do it all again.
This was the statement Costa Rica made during World Environment Day, June 5.
Across the country, volunteers, companies and government officials slid on their working gloves
and flexed their green muscles as they dug tiny holes to plant new trees, adopted existing ones, promoted ecologically safe habits and sounded their environmentally charged political messages.
At Earth University, near the Caribbean slope town of Guácimo, Costa Rican president Laura Chinchilla planted one of the million trees that the institute plans to plant across the
globe as part of their “sow the future” campaign.
