San Jose, Costa Rica. The Costa Rica Power Team, a unit of San Jose based Crystal Clear Properties (www.deededparadise.com), announced today its “Certified Green Worldwide” Environmental Standards Program.

In keeping with its corporate commitment to maintain high levels of environmental awareness, the real estate sales company instituted its twelve point “Certified Green Worldwide” program. According to Jason LaFlesch, the President of the Costa Rica Power Team, before the company becomes associated with any new community development, it makes sure that the community’s development plan adheres to the protocols set forth in the “Certified Green Worldwide” program.

“As a company, we are involved in Costa Rica because we love the country. Like our buyers and certainly like the citizens of our host country, we enjoy all Costa Rica has to offer – its natural beauty, its wildlife, its fantastic way of life. Through our “Certified Green Wordlwide” program we are doing our part to ensure that Costa Rica remains the attractive, natural place that it is”, Mr. LaFlesch said.

Mr. LaFlesch went on to detail many of the key components of the “Certified Green Worldwide” program. These include the setting aside of ample open space for recreation and the maintenance of natural wildlife habitats, soil erosion safeguards, preservation of wetlands and aquifer regeneration watersheds, self-contained or municipal utilities, and other natural features of the land including steep slope guidelines and the maintenance of natural geologic contours. The program also will impose strict air quality initiatives in order to limit the carbon footprint resulting from human activity.

“The Costa Rica Power Team is taking the lead in setting the standard for responsible development in Costa Rica. We encourage other developers and sales companies to adopt our standards and earn “Certified Green Worldwide” designation”, Mr. LaFlesch noted. “Our Certified Green Worldwide program can be adopted and applied by developers globally,” Mr. LaFlesch added.

Heather Dopson, the Costa Rica Power Team’s Vice President of Business Development, said that the Power Team created the standards after many years experience working with environmental professionals in the United States and Costa Rica. “We recognize the importance of ‘green’ development and honor Costa Rica’s commitment to becoming carbon-neutral in the next few years,” stated Ms. Dopson.

The Costa Rica Power Team recently sold out its single family home community near Playa Bejuco in the Central Pacific region of Costa Rica. Tim Kopatich, the company’s Vice President of Operations said that two new communities adhering to the company’s “Certified Green Worldwide” standards have recently been launched. Las Colinas de Miramar is a master planned subdivision near Puntarenas and Quintanar de Los Reyes is an exclusive community of lake front homes perched overlooking Lake Arenal and the Arenal Volcano.
