Greetings, we are new and want to know how this forum/ ecoenforcers can support our product. AAC is autoclave aerated concrete, patented more than 75 years ago in Europe. We introduced it into Central America, Costa Rica six years ago and now need to build a new manufacturing plant, there and in western USA. It is a Green product and much needed there.

Question about Ecoenforcers is what can you do in support for Costa Rica which is in dire need for public improvements and resources: electric, water, sewer, and communications services. The government is poorly structured and environmentally lacking management skills while new development is exceeding the public support service.

Hi there, good to meet you and thankyou for your great question. I will try to answer it the best I can as I do not know your country, however our figures show we could comfortably build 3000 EcoEstates, each one comprising of two 6 floor midrises, each containing 100 units. Our product is exactly what the government of Costa Rica has always wanted but it's never been available. Because our model is precast for speed of erection and minimise weather delays, your AAC should suit it perfectly.

All your government has to do is pay the 1% fee and agree to our terms so we can get a team in there and asses exactly what's required, as you mentioned "for public improvements and resources: electric, water, sewer, and communications services". Our product incorporates all of these issues and more. This is the perfect chance for countries to shift some of the weight they carry and place it onto the private sector.

We are in the hope that great companies like yours will take our proposition to your representatives and they see for themselves exactly what EcoEnforcers has to offer them. We are not looking for handouts, grants, tax breaks, subsidies etc, like other renewable energy operations, just a simple fee to pay the assess and processing teams. The private sector will finance and take it from there with the pre sale of the 100 units per EcoEstate.

So it's more about industries like concrete, glass, construction and associated industries supporting us by contacting their rep so that we can in turn support them with the business that will be required to meet our objective.

Regards,
Gary

Extract from CIA Factbook:

Costa Rica's basically stable economy depends on tourism, agriculture, and electronics exports. Exports have become more diversified in the past 10 years due to the growth of the high-tech manufacturing sector, which is dominated by the microprocessor industry and the production of medical devices.

Tourism continues to bring in foreign exchange, as Costa Rica's impressive biodiversity makes it a key destination for ecotourism. Foreign investors remain attracted by the country's political stability and relatively high education levels, as well as the fiscal incentives offered in the free-trade zones.

Costa Rica has attracted one of the highest levels of foreign direct investment per capita in Latin America. Poverty has remained around 20% for nearly 20 years, and the strong social safety net that had been put into place by the government has eroded due to increased financial constraints on government expenditures. Immigration from Nicaragua has increasingly become a concern for the government.

The estimated 300,000-500,000 Nicaraguans in Costa Rica legally and illegally are an important source of - mostly unskilled - labor, but also place heavy demands on the social welfare system. Under the ARIAS administration, the government has made strides in reducing internal and external debt - in 2007, Costa Rica had its first budget surplus in 50 years.

Reducing inflation remains a difficult problem because of rising commodity import prices and labor market rigidities, though lower oil prices will decrease upward pressures. The Central Bank is moving towards a more flexible exchange rate system to focus on inflation targeting by 2010.

The US-Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) entered into force on 1 January 2009, after significant delays within the Costa Rican legislature. Nevertheless, economic growth has slowed in 2009 as the global downturn reduced export demand and invesment inflows.
