As Costa Rica attempts to become the first carbon neutral country, our project consisted of assisting the CCCC to take the initial steps to become a carbon neutral organization and receive certification for it. We achieved this by calculating their carbon footprint and polling employees and the public on the topic of carbon neutrality. Ultimately, we provided the center with in-depth recommendations on how to reduce emissions, achieve certification, and sponsor vegetation growth to remove carbon from the environment.
