Collaborators participated in planting trees in 2015

San José, Costa Rica. December, 2015.

Siembra de árbolesYear by year, the Clínica Bíblica Hospital plants trees and last Saturday November 28th, a group of collaborators and their families participated in the annual reforestation process, which seeks to create awareness about the importance of caring for the environment.

Through tree planting, we seek to create awareness among the collaborators and their families of habits of care and respect for the environment. In addition, this promotes education in issues related with carbon neutrality, established by the Clínica Bíblica Hospital.

“Participation in this kind of activities reflects the interest that we have achieved among the collaborators and their families. This is the eighth consecutive year that the Hospital celebrates and promotes this type of practices” said Andrés Alvarado, from the Facilities and Environment Management Head Department.

The importance of planting trees lies in helping the air to become more pure, so that there is more oxygen in nature and less carbon dioxide, which contributes to the environment. We should understand that this should not be the only action to follow, but that we should also contribute with actions that reduce the carbon footprint, through the use of clean technologies, energy savings, among others. These are aspects that are also visualized in these field-trips through good practices observed both at the planting site, as well as those the Hospital has and which are commented upon during these activities.

This year, trees of the Damas species were planted, which is common in the Central Valley, in gardens, parks and residual forests. The tree reaches some 15 feet of height, and has dense foliage. It produces tiny flowers, in elongated clusters, which are pollinized by insects. In addition, trees of other species such as the ash tree were planted.
