Central America Expedition 2010: Arrival in Costa Rica
February 21, 2010
Green Living Project’s new expedition to Central America is underway! Our team of four – GLP founder and host Rob Holmes, videographers Ryan Claypool and John Hudak, Jr., and I, writer Annika Hipple – flew in from various parts of the U.S. and met up in San Jose, Costa Rica. After winter in the U.S. the tropical climate here feels like a different world, particularly for John, who couldn’t be happier to flee the 40 inches of recent snowfall in New York.
This is GLP’s fifth expedition overall but our first to Central America, and we’re looking forward to checking out some of the exciting sustainability-related projects underway in three different countries: Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama. Over the course of 20 days we’ll be visiting nine projects ranging from sustainable tourism and community development to marine conservation, agroforestry, and renewable energy. First up: Rios Tropicales, one of Costa Rica’s top river rafting companies and a leader in conservation and sustainable community development. Stay tuned….
