Costa Rica: Where TCU, Adopt-A-Meter, Thrive Natural Care Cosmetics and female-led groups Co-op Las Amazonas and Coopecuna unite for regenerative and climate resilience.

In a country known for its dedication to protecting Nature, The Carbon Underground’s Adopt-A-Meter program has created a prime example of how companies, farmers, and a commitment to transitioning to regenerative agriculture can help change the world. Our Adopt-A-Meter program offers anyone the opportunity to help reverse climate change for just $5 by adopting a meter of degraded soil. We then grant that money to projects restoring land. Our two core recipients in Costa Rica are Co-op Las Amazonas, a group of women between the ages of 19-62 that grow ingredients for food and cosmetics companies while looking to capture carbon and improve the soil’s biodiversity, and Coopercuna, a female farming coop founded in 2006 that focuses on restoring and maintaining their ecosystems and educating the public about regenerative practices that do so. Thrive Natural Care Cosmetics is a partner to Coopecuna, already supporting their agricultural efforts, and promoting the importance of regenerative in everything they do, and everything they sell.
