Less than 10% of the 7 billion tons of plastic waste humans have generated has been recycled, according to the UN Environment Programme.

Three of the five halogen fixtures I had installed many years ago are still functioning and rarely need to replace the tiny bulbs. My challenge is the two lamps I need for reading which have LEDs. Thanks for the suggestions.

I will not complain about days of rain in BA, especially after seeing videos on The Highwire of what happened yesterday in Acapulco. That city is destroyed without any warning of what was coming.

Although the city of Buenos Aires began encouraging recycling when Mauricio Macri was mayor, the current situation leaves lots of room for improvement. Let's see if Jorge Macri will do anything when he takes over. I learned more about recycling from the attached article and wanted to share it.

I regret exchanging incandescent bulbs for the harmful LEDs in 2018. They came with no warning about causing damage to the eyes. The eye doctor mentioned cataracts after my 2019 eye exam. An eye doctor suggested I have surgery in 2024. At first I thought, okay. But I've reconsidered after...

https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/culture/american-club-of-buenos-aires-falls-victim-to-the-pandemic.phtml I was going to recommend the American Club which always offered dinner on Thanksgiving.

I'm grateful that I am able to buy all the fresh organic fruits and vegetables I need for the week, delivered to my door for about $10-12USD. My Argentine friend needs to borrow money every month because his retirement isn't enough to cover his monthly expenses.

Bad news. Significant improvement for what? When are they going to admit that 5G is unsafe?

Not good for anyone.

The consorcio had an unpaid payment to AFIP for the employee from November 2020, which was noted on the liquidation "due to lack of funds." The administrator simply forgot about it. The debt was estimated to be around $600,000 as of July 2021. Today is must be over a million or two. AFIP...

After two and a half years in ISIS captivity, Imad and his Yazidi family were released. They took shelter in a displaced persons' camp in northern Iraq. But their suffering was far from over. Not yet five, Imad has spent over half his life enduring terror and abuse. His behavior is aggressive...

It wasn't cheap when I moved here in 1999 (peso = dollar), but I survived all the changes. After 24 years, there is nothing that will cause me to leave the city that I love.

This is not a Disney movie.

There is a difference between boys being sexually abused in church schools by priests and the recruitment of young girls for modeling when they are actually sold as sexual slaves to perverts. Has a movie been made about priests abusing young boys? Probably not. Although grown men have told...

I saw Sound of Freedom tonight at Abasto cinema on Corrientes. All I can say is don't miss it. Incredible rescues. I attended the Spanish version with an Argentine friend. The audience applauded after a special message from the lead actor. Runs until October 27.

This seems very suspicious to me as well, as if the agent wants to collect another commission. If they don't provide the copies of the bills, then ask for the CLIENT NUMBER and METER NUMBER from a member of the consorcio or encargado with a key to the basement. This will allow you access to...

I watched the debate last night. The candidate who will receive my vote for won't be the next president, but I will do my duty as a citizen. The United States debates are shouting matches. Argentina debates are well-managed and everyone plays by the rules. When will the United States hold...
