Smoke Reasons Jennifer,
Although everybody here en BA have heard about the smoke as related with the Government vs Agroexporters conflict. It is not. Every year this incredible and antiecological technique of slash and burn have been affected minor cities of northen Buenos Aires Province and Southern Entre Ríos and Santa Fé Provincies. But lately, as a consequence of the incredible rise of the cereals prices, a lot of lands in what is know as "the island" have been adquired by one or two mega big producers. Apparently they have resources enough to buy such enormous lands but not to buy agrochemical for this task (poor them!!!). So they choose to smoke a quarter of the country. But don't worry for them, they will never be catched. Here exist crime but we always remain waiting for punishment.
Great Blog Entry wow- what a positive blog entry! I am so impressed with your project and it sounds like you're keeping fit down there. Ready for a July race when you come back :). MISS YOU!
This is great! Hey Jenn D. Read your entry about work, volunteering and such. Knew a little about what you were doing before but this really explains it all! This sounds like an amazing experience and some real hands-on work! And the Comedor centers sounds so useful to the community.
I'm so happy things are going well. Look forward to hearing more!
I'm quickly approaching my quarter life this year and what better way to spend it then on another adventure! I've traveled through 13 countries throughout Europe and Africa, and now I'm on my way to Latin America... First Stop: Buenos Aires and a 10 day adventure with my wonderful sister. Stay Tuned for pictures and details!... full info
