Earth Day, celebrated every April 22, is a global reminder of the urgent need to protect our planet. Originally established in 1970 to raise awareness about environmental issues, Earth Day has grown into the largest secular observance in the world, celebrated by more than a billion people every year.
For a country like Costa Rica — renowned for its dedication to conservation, biodiversity, and renewable energy — Earth Day holds a particularly special significance.

At Green Circle Experience, we don’t just celebrate Earth Day; we live it every day. It is an opportunity to reflect, to act, and to inspire others to travel more consciously and respectfully.

Why is Earth Day Important?

Earth Day serves as a vital reminder of the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world. It calls attention to the critical environmental challenges we face today — from climate change and deforestation to ocean pollution and biodiversity loss.

According to the UN, we lose an estimated 10 million hectares of forest every year, and global wildlife populations have declined by nearly 70% over the last 50 years.

Tourism, when done irresponsibly, can contribute to these problems. But when designed thoughtfully, it can also be a force for good — preserving ecosystems, supporting local communities, and fostering a deeper appreciation for the planet’s wonders.

Costa Rica: A Global Model for Conservation

Costa Rica stands as a shining example of what a nation committed to sustainability can achieve.

• 99% of its electricity comes from renewable sources such as hydro, wind, geothermal, and solar power.
• Over 25% of its territory is protected through national parks, reserves, and wildlife refuges.
• Costa Rica has an ambitious goal: to become fully decarbonized by 2050, setting a precedent for environmental leadership worldwide.

With lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and unparalleled biodiversity, Costa Rica offers the perfect setting to celebrate Earth Day — not just as a symbolic gesture, but as a living, breathing reality.
