With nearly 30% of the property’s energy demand met with rooftop solar, battery storage, and solar hot water (plus Costa Rica’s nearly carbon free grid), Safari Surf focused on tracking their scope three emissions (guest travel). All in-country and international flights along with in-country shuttles to Nosara are recorded and the associated emissions are calculated in the STOKE carbon footprint tool, which resulted in 16.45 tons for the 2016/17 season. Carbon offsets were purchased through the Costa Rican organization, FONAFIFO, which pays local farmers to sustainably manage their forest and plant trees to sequester carbon throughout the country. For this season, Safari is tracking staff travel as well and they are going to offer voluntary offsets to guests for their international flights.
