from the villages of Carmen, Argentina and Buenos Aires. The people who
have lived there for more than 15 years share with us their sadness about the
environmental pollution problem that is evident near their homes. They also

tourists and people who practice sports. The most popular sports in these
places are athletics and cycling.
