Costa Rica is the first tropical country in the world to fully reverse deforestation.
By 1987 its forest cover fell to 21%.
However since then it has rebounded to over 50-60%.
Today, more than half of Costa Rica is covered by forest, making it one of the first tropical nations to successfully reverse deforestation on a national scale and a global model for conservation.
This historic turnaround was driven by a landmark 1996 law banning unauthorized logging and the creation of a pioneering program that pays landowners to preserve and replant native trees. By replacing destructive cattle ranching with a thriving ecotourism economy, Costa Rica proved that environmental conservation can be highly profitable.
If Costa Rica can do this there is no reason why rich and developed nations can't follow in its tracks and reforest their territories.
It's important to remember that the world doesn't have to end up as a barren dystopian hell realm, things can change for the better as they did in Costa Rica, it really is a matter of choice for every person and every country.
Now that we have this. We should turn Trincity Mall into a government campus plaza East. Every Ministry where you have to do something, whether it's immigration or legal Affairs or licensing. If you had to come to town before, put at least one office in Trincity Mall.

No wind was blowing. This is a pond at Navet on June 24, sloshing back and forth on its own.
The doublet earthquakes were in Venezuela, 780 km away. Most people here never felt it.
But water in a basin has a natural rhythm, and the slow waves that reached Trinidad arrived at almost exactly that rhythm, pushing it in step for 13 minutes. This back-and-forth motion of the water is called a seiche.

Just to be clear, then. FIFA:
1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA
2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like
Smashing. All know where we stand
