Costa Rica has some of the most remarkable beaches in the world, which always provide world-class surfing conditions. It has to be one of the best destinations to surf up and down the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean to the east. Between the two, there are 800 miles of beautiful ocean coastline, just waiting to be surfed. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned surfer, you will agree that Costa Rica has to be one of the top ten best places on Earth to surf.
However, what will happen to that beautiful coastline if we do not change the way we take care of the environment? Will we still have those beautiful waters to hang ten? Will we still have those tropical-like ocean waters to catch a wave? What can we do?
World Environment Day is June 5. On this day, we recognize the value of natural resources and put out a global call to preserve the natural environment around the world. You can make a difference by simply putting garbage or litter in a proper trash can, recycling, or walking to a short destination instead of driving. Even little things make a difference, when it comes to the environment.
June 8 is World Ocean’s Day. Recognized by the United Nations since 2008, this is a day to celebrate and promote the beauty and power of the ocean. On this day, there are several activities going on worldwide that you can choose to participate in, including:
• Help reduce marine debris by eliminating junk mail
• Do a beach (or other body of water) cleanup in your area
• Obtain a renewable energy credit to help combat ocean acidification
• Spread the word about sustainable seafood
Together we can make a difference and keep our environment and oceans beautiful.
