Why Costa Rica is becoming a relocation destination |
Why Costa Rica is becoming a relocation destination  More and more Americans and Canadians are turning their eyes on these laid back countries like Costa Rica as destinations to move and relocate once they have retired from their work. Finding a house is easy and still very affordable in the mountains or by the ocean. Many beaches are being developed with all the services required to make a good living yet still keeping the magic of the tropics and the slow pace that you only find in Latin American countries. Healthy food is very inexpensive. Fruits and vegetables can be found in produce in produce fairs in every town where producers and consumers meet and make the best of Price and quality. Finding help around the house is very convenient as gardeners and house keepers are not as expensive a service as back in USA or Canada. |

Eco friendly furniture in Costa Rica |
Eco friendly furniture in Costa Rica
With all the new trends in the world regarding environment preservation we normally could question if we are contributing to global warming by purchasing determined items for our personal use or household. Furniture is one of the most important ones as they are a long-term acquisition as well as the materials used in their production. Costa Rica has for about 25 years been growing extensive plantations of very well adapted species of Wood that nowadays are used in most of the locally made furniture and those are excellent news for a country that decided to preserve 30% of its land with legislation to create national parks and biological reserves. At the beginning of this preservation initiative and because reforested wood plantations were not yet mature enough, illegal lumbering took place in many areas of the country.

The facts of Costa Rican made furniture
The world is going green and having a wood furniture piece does not contradict this new trend. The furniture produced in Costa Rica is made with reforested woods, that come from plantations thoroughly inspected by the Ministry of Environment of Costa Rica and duly certified for its lumbering and production process. When you think of a piece of furniture made in an overseas country you could be in front of a piece made with exploitation both of nature and human.
But Costa Rican furniture is very particular. First, a lot of manufacturers are independent and therefore create their own income by producing furniture that will be exposed in a fair or in their own workshop. This results in more people doing business, doing what they like and what they learned to do since they are young and one very important factor, involving the rest of the family in the process, therefore creating a family income.
