What and Why
Environmental awareness of the Tican people in Costa Rica is the topic of my research here. I have been raised in an environmentally aware household, constantly aware of the impact of human activity on the environment. To me, recycling was never a question. From a young age, my mother constantly reinforced the idea that the resources we had were valuable and to not be wasteful. I have always heard that Costa Rica is an environmentally aware country because of all of the natural resources that are present. My goal is to discover if this idea that Costa Rican people are more environmentally aware is acurate and what motivates them to be.
