Earth Day, April 22nd, is just around the bend. To add a touch of excitement to this year’s planting, why not travel to Costa Rica to do the honors? That’s where you’ll find the sustainable eco-lodge Lapa Rios, which lies within its own private nature reserve, overrun with biodiversity, and features devastatingly pristine views of the churning Pacific.
Among activities offered is the chance to participate in the resort’s Volunteer Rain Forest, where guests contribute to sustainable development by transplanting a primary rain forest seedling to an area of second growth in the reforestation program. Lucky planters get to learn about their tree and then receive a certificate to commemorate their efforts. Left someone special at home? Plant a tree in their honor and get a gift certificate to take back to them. Carbon-neutralize your trip and make it one fine-lookin‚ Earth Day. Oh, and don’t forget the sunscreen. Might as well soak up some beach time, I mean, as long as you’re there!
