The School of Environmental Studies in Apple Valley conducted a foreign exchange to Costa Rick in late July. In Costa Rica the students worked together along with students at Liceo de Poas to inform the students about the change in the climate and how it effects growing seasons for coffee, Costa Rica's highest agriculture export. The students also went to an elementary school where they talked to young students about waste and pollution. In late April the Costa Rican students would do home stays with the students in Apple Valley and conduct projects to help educate the public on climate change in the future.
