The Environmental Track got to go on a tour of downtown San Jose as well as INBio! We determined what was considered sustainable and what was not. Along the way we also learned about the history of San Jose.
These murals are decor near officials buildings. Many people in San Jose express how they feel about the government through graffiti.
This monument signifies the independence from the Spanish. Everyone was working together to achieve freedom; men, women and children.
This leaf signifies that this hotel is using environmentally friendly practices.
Later we got to see a local artist Fabio Herrera and we even got his signature!
This is the Hemingway hotel in Santa Fey.
We walked around for two hours, making connections with local artists as well as learning more about the city we are living in.
Later that day we headed to INBio Parque for another field trip.
This is wear researchers study mushrooms. There are many used of mushrooms such as food and medicinal medicine.
INBio parque has a sustainable house where they only use solar energy. This is a water heater designed using recycled water bottles.
On these field trips we learned about how Urban Costa Rica is trying to make sustainable efforts in order to sustain their lush ecosystems around them.
