Happy International Day for Biological Diversity! 💚

Biodiversity is the variety of different living things on Earth. It is the delicate web that sustains our ecosystems, our climate, and our future.

At Greentalist, we promote environmental education and good environmental practices, cultivating them as daily habits to care for our natural world. Alongside our volunteers, we expand our community of youth leaders who act for protecting Costa Rica's biodiversity.

Let’s defend the web of life together. 🐸🌿

Hoy conmemoramos el Día de la Persona Agricultora Costarricense, una fecha para agradecer profundamente a quienes, con sus manos y dedicación, cultivan la tierra y aseguran el sustento en nuestras mesas. 🧑‍🌾

Honrar su labor va más allá de las palabras; implica adoptar prácticas que protejan nuestro entorno y apoyen su esfuerzo diario:
Compra local: Apoye directamente a las ferias y productores de su comunidad.Siembra en casa: Cultive lo que pueda, reconectando con el origen de sus alimentos.Comparte semillas: Promueva la biodiversidad y la soberanía alimentaria.Evite el desperdicio: Valora cada cosecha consumiendo de manera responsable.

Cuidar la tierra y a quienes la trabajan es una tarea colectiva. 🌍💚

Mencione en los comentarios a ese amigo o conocido que siembra, cuida la tierra y cuyo trabajo merece ser reconocido hoy. ¡Hagamos visible su labor! 👇

Every day is an opportunity to care for our planet 🌍

This Earth Day, we are reminded that sustainability is not only about big actions, but about the small decisions we make daily.

Here are a few simple habits that make a difference:

• Save water: Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes.
• Reduce waste: Choose reusable products whenever possible.
• Be mindful of energy: Switch off lights and unplug devices when not in use.
• Avoid food waste: Plan your meals and make the most of what you have.
• Support local: Buy from local producers and choose sustainable options.
• Respect nature: Leave places better than you found them.

Together, these actions create real impact 🌱

Let’s continue building a more sustainable future, one habit at a time.

Hoy, en el Día de la Persona Indígena Costarricense, honramos la historia, la cosmovisión y la profunda sabiduría de los pueblos originarios.

Durante más de 10 años, hemos tenido la oportunidad de colaborar en más de 45 proyectos en el territorio de Alto Chirripó junto al pueblo Cabécar. Todo esto ha sido posible gracias al trabajo comunitario, a nuestras personas voluntarias y a alianzas estratégicas con el MEP y el Ministerio de Trabajo, con las cuales hemos sumado esfuerzos para facilitar el acceso al agua potable, la educación ambiental y la mejora en la infraestructura de sus centros educativos.

Nuestro compromiso es y será siempre caminar a su lado con determinación y escucha activa. 🤝

¡La tecnología no cubre malos hábitos! 💻

Esta fue la gran lección que nos dejó Flor Mendieta en nuestro pasado webinar. No basta con tener el mejor sistema si no ponemos de nuestra parte para protegerlo.

👉 Deslice las imágenes para ver el resumen de los puntos clave

✅ Sus hábitos: Use frases largas, no palabras.
✅ Su conexión: Evite el WiFi público para trámites sensibles. ✅ Su reacción: Qué hacer si llega a ser víctima de un ataque.

¿Qué otro hábito aplica usted para cuidar su vida digital?
