Green Coco Map
Launched in June 2018 during the Ironman70.3 Costa Rica, Eco-Coco created a map of the 13 restaurants that already implemented sustainable practices.
The objectives of the projects are:
- To Engage businesses and institutions to maintain and improve their environmental policies
- Encourage businesses that have not yet adopted environmental practices to join the commitment
- Inspire the community to adopt sustainable practices
The list keeps growing! And if you visit Playas del Coco you can get the map on local restaurants and real estate offices.
