| I heard a report on NPR the other day about how Costa Rica is trying to become the first carbon neutral country on the planet. In it they mentioned a Costa Rican air carrier that rolled carbon offsets into the price of flying with them. I wish I could remember their name. But that got me wondering: are there other travel providers in Costa Rica that include carbon offsets in their services - whether it be a bus line, car rental, ferry or charter air line? I know I could always purchase the carbon credits myself online, but I like to reward the companies that try to be as green as possible on their own initiative. |

| NatureAir is promoting the fact that they are the worlds first carbon neutral airline. I just flew a flight with them yesterday and they had it right down to recycling cans at the smallest airport. Nice work on their part. |

| Thanks d360! That was the airline that was mentioned in the NPR story. Does anyone know of any other transportation services in Costa Rica that do the same thing - boats, planes, trains or automobiles? |

| Im afraid not to my knowledge i don't. I have also read similar articles to what you're saying tamarindo, and from what i gather is that they want to become carbon neutral by 2020. Don't hold me to that 100%, but thats the figure that comes to mind when i remember what i had read. |
