Costa
Rica Van Go
We
are working to do our part to help reduce the negative impact we are
having on the
environment. Our goal is to leave the planet cleaner and a better place for our children and our
children's children. It won't be a simple task
but with us working together we can make a
difference. i
If you are aware of
hotels, companies, projects or groups in Costa Rica that are working
in favor of the environment please let us know, would like to add their
links. We are also interested in adding sources for organic and
environmentally friendly products found in or that can be affordably
shipped to Costa Rica.

We Are Going Green
|
"Your
descendants shall gather your fruits." -- Virgil
-- |
|
As
global warming, pollution, and deforestation adversely affect
the planet experts
agree that each of us can do something to help reduce the
impact we are having on the environment. At Costa Rica Van Go
we are committed to lessening our impact thus
are employing the following practices: |
-
Bio Diesel:
We use
bio-diesel produced from industry bi-products and
renewable sources which reduces our need for fossil fuel.
Also, bio-diesel emits less harmful gases into the
atmosphere.
-
Responsible Driving: We practice
responsible driving techniques which helps us decrease our
fuel consumption.
-
Recycle:
We practice and encourage recycling
to help diminish the need for virgin materials, and reduce
the strain on landfills. We incorporate the reduce, reuse,
and recycle techniques.
-
Organic Cotton
,
Hemp
and Bamboo: Studies show
that farmers use approximately 25% of the world’s
insecticides and 10% of the pesticides to grow cotton with
the runoffs entering our water systems and contaminating the
soil. As we replace our uniforms we will switch to materials
that need little if any harmful chemicals or pesticides to
grow.
-
Plant a Tree:
As deforestation effects
climate warming, destroys ecosystems, and causes erosion, we
will have a tree planted for each Private Transfer we make. |
Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time.

All
across the world, in every kind of environment and region
known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and
devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the
long-running debate over whether or not climate change is
real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are
giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the
man-made natural disaster.
BARACK
OBAMA
Two
thousand scientists, in a hundred countries, engaged in the
most elaborate, well organized scientific collaboration in the
history of humankind, have produced long-since a consensus
that we will face a string of terrible catastrophes unless we
act to prepare ourselves and deal with the underlying causes
of global warming.
AL GORE
Global
warming is too serious for the world any longer to ignore its
danger or split into opposing factions on it.
