What is the connection between Bristol and Costa Rica? They have both won prestigious green awards for their environmental activism. Last October, ecotourism in Costa Rica received a boost when the country won the first-ever international Earthshot Award from Prince William and David Attenborough. The prize was inspired by John F Kennedy’s ‘Moonshot’ pledge in the 1960s, to get a man on the moon within a decade – which catalysed the development of new technology. And in 2015, Bristol became the UK’s first ever European Green Capital, in recognition of its work to make the city a leader in sustainable, low carbon living.
