Costa Rica

Clean and Green Costa Rica Program 2012-2015

The Clean and Green Costa Rica Program 2012-2015 sought to bring together people of all ages, genders and social conditions in national and educational institutions, communities, work centers and anyone else that wants to work on national clean-up days. The first Great National Day of Cleaning, for the Earth, emphasized the cleaning of the Virilla-Tárcoles basin. The initiative summoned the local governments of the cantons of this basin, communal institutions and groups, and private companies to organize and conduct cleaning days in areas of common interest. A second National Cleansing Day, for the Ocean, was committed within the framework of the "International Cleansing of Coasts and Rivers" promoted by the Ocean Conservancy and involving more than 100 countries.
