So this is my first blog post to what I hope will become an interesting and useful - if not sometimes lighthearted too - take on sustainability and corporate social responsibility issues in Costa Rica and Central America.
Interesting because, despite its size - a population of only 4.5m and a land mass of 51,000 thousand square kilometers (Island has 70,000!) - Costa Rica is generally considered one of the most sustainable countries in the world.
At least that's if you believe the 2010 Environmental Performance Index produced by Yale and Columbia Universities or indeed the persuasive environmental marketing of the Instituto Costarricense de Turismo (ICT); the Government's Tourism Ministry.
Light hearted bacause I don't believe everything I read and am told, and because Costa Ricans never take themselves too seriously either.
So, here I'll start and we'll see how we go. English for now, but maybe the odd post in Spanish in the future. And please forgive my english spelling. It was never very good, but seems to have degenerated badly now that I'm writing regularly in Spanish!
