dc.description.abstractApproximately 8700 people work in the city of Buenos Aires in the recovery of recyclable materials; half are children and teenagers. This is in a city of almost 3 million people, where 14.7% are considered poor and 4% extremely poor, and where unemployment is as high as 11.3%. In Vancouver “…the estimated number of street homeless on any one night has increased from 300–600 people, depending on the season, to 500–1200 people,” states the city’s Draft Action Plan on Homelessness. The article explores “different realities, similar experiences” between the writer’s home in Argentina, and host city of the WUF3, Vancouver.en
