Will Costa Rica be the world’s first carbon neutral country?
In 2012, Costa Rica declared its intention to reach carbon neutrality. This year, the country has generated 94% of its energy from renewables. Between May to August, the country operated exclusively off of renewable energy for 94 days, beating its own record from earlier this year. This short video by Fusion.net provides details on the day-to-day and grassroots efforts that go making the shift from a fossil-fuel dependent system to a sustainable, carbon neutral society.
