    Is there something specific here that you would like to discuss? If so perhaps you could make that clear?

    “We simply want them to obey the law, and the government to enforce it”

    We can see the same happening with other environmental matters: cut trees (illegal) for building homes. But also this government shows her incapacity with -for example- migration, criminality and road construction.

    Who knows chorizo wants to tell that Costa Rica is not the first choice to retire but is becoming a country to turn one’s back on. Do you want to line up every day to get fresh water ?

    Maybe that’s what chorizo wants to discuss ?

    The point is , no point, Knowledge is power an informed consumer needs to be informed and in a forum that promotes fair and balanced all points and perspectives from a mirad of sources is tantamount to democracy.

    Costa Rica walks a fine line between allowing unrestricted industry, which most developing nations allow to their environmental misery or clamping down and losing some short term profit for more sustainable, medium to long term returns for the country. In Costa Rica’s specific case, the more these facts come to light, the more the carefully hewn image of an eco-paradise will be lost.
