On Sunday October the 5th, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. the streets of San José Paseo Colón were closed to promote the conservation efforts different Costa Rican companies are developing.

In order to let people know the importance of positioning Costa Rica in the world as a free  carbon neutral destination, “Horizontes Nature Tours” was part of the inaugural “Environmental and Health Fair” organized by the  Costa Rican Energy and Environmental Ministry (MINAE)

Horizontes is one of the many private responsible companies in the country which are working hard to promote economic, social and environmental sustainable actions in the community. These actions also support the National Strategy for Climate Change, whose main goal is for Costa Rica to become one of the first countries in the world to be declared Carbon Neutral by the year 2021.

Companies like Florex, Energy, Habitat for the Humanity, Recycle Costa Rica and COOPEJUBI shared the stand with Horizontes,  to generate and promote common alliances.

“This is a great opportunity to get together with other companies and promote awareness to a large number of collaborators, their families, suppliers and clients”, said Patricia Forero, Horizontes Research and Developing  Director.

Among companies of the private sector such as Cefa Corporation, Gollo Store and Holcin, government entities also participated:  Acueductos y Alcantarillados (AYA), The Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) and the Municipality of San Jose.
