Costa Rica - Colonial Context

Sep 25, 2017 by Daniela Solera

• How does your footprint reflect the economy of your country, including its colonial relations?

although Costa Rica is a very ecological country, not only because most of its energy is renewable, but also because of the amount of biodiversity it has and the variety of biological reserve programs in extinction. But despite that, if we reflect the contamination of the country, for example, all the garbage accumulated in our rivers, or floods because of aqueducts full of garbage and among other things that's why I think , although our country is not reflecting extreme pollution problem, we still notice our footprint in many other ways, so I think it is necessary to raise awareness and try to reduce it

• How are the effects of climate change related with power imbalances among countries or within countries?

With all that is happening in the world these past months, it is very difficult not to say that this is happening thanks to global warming. But it can easily be said that countries with low resources do not have as much influence on world pollution as countries with considerable power, these countries are more influential, which has the potential of being more developed countries therefore its pollution influences much more in the global warming.
