    NP #115: Dr. Robert Edgeworth explains scientific results about Nosara’s water pollution; Asks homeowners and businesses to support a cleaner Nosara

    In this Nosara Podcast episode, Dr. Edgeworth explains the ocean water pollution situation in Playa Guiones and Rio Nosara areas plus calls residents, in particular homeowners and businesses, to support a cleaner Nosara based upon the data from their water collection study.

    He explains Dr. Vanessa Bezy’s efforts on this project, how it is funded, and shares some of his personal opinions about leadership in our area. Robert states: “It’s a big responsibility to apply government power against people’s property rights… So if you want to do that, at least do it well.”

    In this Nosara Podcast, Dr. Alvaro Salas quickly addresses the hotbed of contention surrounding the building regulations and announces he is bringing some top level scientists in his field to Nosara on July 29th event to help us address much more than just the building regulations.

    Big thanks to everyone participating in the study and those helping make this event happen. It looks like El Local & The Gardens is the location for the event.

    The Nosara Podcast returns next week…

    Hola todos,

    The Nosara Podcast gets going again next week after I finish some brain treatments. There’s many episodes in editing with new guests plus of course we’ll be addressing the seemingly never ending building regulations saga…

    The first video is me at the Plasticity Brain Center in Orlando On their MARC machine. This clinic has helped NBA player Lebron James, all time great UFC fighter George St. Pierre (GSP), heaps of other hockey, football, wakeboarding, etc professionals and it was an adventure getting through this season and making it here. I’m almost done though & we’ll be back soon.

    In January we released the below explanation of what happened and my goal of completing this high season and making it to TBI specialists for treatment:

    Thanks to everyone for support and patience!

    • if symptoms stay please at home
    • With rainy season starting more cases of normal flu
    • What’s going on with testing these days?
    • Antigen test issues
    • PCR higher standard
    • What are updates on vaccinations in Costa Rica?
    • Being registered at EBAIS

    • Over 1 million doses of Pfizer brought in so far
    • Definite spike in cases; be careful

    NP #112: Guardians of Nature is on a mission… And it is working! In 23 minutes Jessica Sheffield updates how Nosara is turning into an ‘innovation lab’ and ‘faith, hope, and strategy can change anything’

    In this Nosara Podcast episode Jessica Sheffield updates us about Guardians of Nature and shares her vision of increasing eco literacy throughout Latin America and beyond. The program is working already in Nosara and quickly expanding in Latin America and beyond.

    Here’s my notes:

    • Intro… GoN ‘Mom’ and DMA cofounder
    • Nosara is an innovation lab for public schools
    • Importance of trajectories
    • Trees in CR almost all gone by the 1980’s yet CR changed trajectory and is now inventor of ecotourism (will put in map photos)
    • DMA was not intended to ever be an island
    • Local schools in Nosara having impact and ripple effect
    • Step by step… Not 1 huge one
    • Covid, floods, strikes, etc. Really hurt kids
    • Enriching English very important
    • How can people get involved?
    • Can donate time, financially, or preferably both
    • Could Nosara’s public school be model for the world?
    • Faith, hope, and strategy can change anything
    • Local businesses adopted local schools and now composting, recycling, English enrichment, etc.
    • Bram recommendation of book Rocket Man
    • GoN using bottom up approach, not top down
    • Working with government much better in accomplishing greater reach
