I live on a green hill that is surrounded by more green hills beyond the little Atenas Valley. And the housing development that I live in is called “Residencial Roca Verde” which in English is “Residential Green Rock.” And the second photo below is of some of the green rocks just inside our entrance gate that gave the place its name. 🙂 But mostly mossy green during rainy season and losing their color by the end of dry season or becoming brown rocks. 🙂 All possibly symbolic of “Living Green!”
“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.” – Mahatma Gandhi
That is what one man said about “living green.” Hopefully the world will learn to trade its greed for the green! I’m thankful that I live in a “green-thinking” country, even though Costa Rica has not “arrived” yet, it is headed in the right direction with such things as 99.9% of our electricity renewable (hydro, volcanic, solar & wind) plus 25-35% of our forests are protected as reserves or parks.
