hey, i would love to come to this event. what time and where? i have to admit to being a bit ignorant on these kinds of issues, so this sounds like a great place to learn about them and what i can do.

This sounds great, I'm glad I found it in time.

And, as Rosie mentioned, hopefully these discussions can evolve into some sort of collective action.

I'd suggest Bio, in Palermo (Humboldt 2199), as an obvious location for the meeting -- all ingredients are 'organic' and 'local' (at least local to Argentina)... and they have numerous vegan or vegetarian options on the menu if anyone wants something more than drinks. And whether we plan to eat or not, it would be wise to support such an ecologically-conscious enterprise, since the market for organic foods is still quite nascent here. Also, they have some tables on the sidewalk -- which qualifies as 'wheelchair accessible' in Buenos Aires; though the restaurant is in an old building and thus the entrance and interior are not nearly wheelchair accessible.

The city of buenos aires gets all of its drinking water from the highly polluted rio de la plata. The river is polluted because the govt., state and federal, turns a blind eye to polluters and in my opinion knowingly allows the water utility to provide water that is contaminated.

I think this could be one of the environmental issues to tackle. when is the govt. going to face up to its responsibilities. How much longer can BA draw its water from that river? should other sources, like a resevoir, be considered? and fast?
