The COP26 is mostly about promises.
Unfortunately history has shown that with many of these promises are either not kept, or come with lesser known conditions, which strongly reduces the actual effect of these pronises :-(

The following webpage explores the adventages of tourism for our planet and its climate:

In Costa Rica a Grassroots scheme called 'Monteverde's Ruta Eléctrica' is now leading the way in making sustainable tourism by electric car more attractive!
