6 Ekim 2009, Salı günü, ABD ile serbest ticaret anlaşmasının hileli biçimde onaylanmasının ikinci yılında Güney Kosta Rika'nın Onuru için Halk Yürüyüşü yapıldı.

150'den fazla eylemci yerli yerleşimi Térraba'nın girişinden Buenos Aires ilçesinin merkezine yürüdü. Eylemciler sabah 8:00'de yola çıkarak 13 kilomtetrelik bir güzergahı adım adım katettiler. Yürüyüş, Güney bölgesinde ananas plantasyonlarının yayılmasına, Diquís Hidroelektrik Santrali projesine, "Finca 9" bölgesinde yapılması planlanan uluslararası havalimanına, ton balığı üretim çiftlikleri ve marinalar kurulmasııyla ilgili girişimlere karşı, yerlilerin otonomi hakları için mücadele eden birçok grubun katılımıyla gerçekleşti. Bölgede muz plantasyonlarının yerini alan ananas plantasyonları nedeniyle akarsular cılızlaşıyor ve kullanılan kimyasal tarım ilaçları halk tarafından kullanılan akarsulara karışıyor, plantasyonlarda çalışan işçiler bu kimyasallardan doğrudan etkileniyor ve buna bağlı sağlık sorunları yaşıyorlar. Bu konuyla ilgilenen sosyal hareketler ve örgütlerin eylemcileri ise ölüm tehditleri alıyor. Halk Yürüyüşü öğleden sonra 14:00'da ilçe merkezine ulaştı, 15:30'da ise eylem sonlandırıldı ve gruplar dağıldı.

stop the subsidies for chemical , oil, and gas and any concept of toxic runoff immediately... the china man is destroying a peaceful future plan with bad investments to the degree of wanting more and more,, discipline greed... stop the shareholder dividend on the pharmacuetical budgetary shakedown from copy-right and registrerd trade marks that steal and/or destroy the herbs ,,the people have yet to eat.. note mota ( marijuana is not an herb but hydroponic chemicals should be prohibited along with malt liquor)>

95% costa ricans don't even know there are indigenous people there. The towns where these plantations are would make the 1900 mississippi delta look sophisticated and well provisioned. The police have been busted numerously this year for running drugs, even stealing confiscated ones. They shake down gringo residents as a sideline. the rivers , exiting through the southern pacific zone in the state of puntarenas are muddy far offshore. ICE is commonly known for being bloated and self serving and getting you hooked up, this year, only with a little palm grease. They have been resisting laws for 2 or 3 years now, by hemming and hawing over regs in the spozedly deregulated cellphone industry. Ask in a store...they smile and say....someday. The Diqui hydro plant has been in the works over a decade. Some mining leach operations have been shut down in this time, but this project, with the promise of money to local thieves, keeps the powerfull motivated. In the meanwhile, they make some progrss stoping ecodevelopement resorts for rich nortenos and ruskis and now even chineese party big fat cats. Resorts inside nature preserves where the law has, for deacades said no developement (ooops) resorts that get first rights to water and thus spell the end of town and farmers in some locals (ooops)resorts that put rooms up on stilts and supply floodlights so the well paying guests can watch turtles no longer able to navigate (those pesky lights) and thus mate (ooops). All of which makes court work for the elites. (in C.R. you can come out of prison for murder , extortion or theft....and go back to your law practice unimpeded) Trials of setting officials (sherifs, judges, ministers...)are always available for slow news days.

And now come the chineese to help them. They brought their own construction crew to do the soccer pitch. Nica labor was not needed.

The majority of vegitables are imported, much from mexico and chile. prices are as high or higher than we pay in the states. nearby Nicaragua is nearly food sufficient and has large organic practice, albeit by necessity (no money) not choice. C.R. sells orchids and supplies Dole and Chaquita. Rice or beans are $1.00 U.S. per pound .
