Junín de los Andes - This past weekend marked the rebirth of the CEI San Ignacio, a high school in northern Patagonia that tragically burned to the ground over a year ago. It was an emotional weekend for the hundreds of students, parents, supporters, and well-wishers who gathered to celebrate the momentous occasion. The fire devastated the main building though thankfully no one was hurt. Despi

It's made from 100% recycled material."Nothing will have you have you reaching for a bottle of antacids and chasing it with a gulp of de-fizzed Canada Dry like hammer-fisted product placements, and if you do manage to slip the first punch (a camera shot that lingers on the Patagonia sign in Stiller's sporting goods store) the ringing endorsement above will surely

Plans to build several hydro-electric dams in Patagonia, one of the world's most pristine wilderness frontiers, are meeting with both domestic and international resistance. If executed, the dams would result in the flooding of thousands of acres of wildlife habitat and transmission lines cutting across five national parks. Those lines — a 3,000 km chain — will carry energy to the north

Patagonia's values reflect those of a business that started as a band of climbers and surfers who want to stay out as long as they can doing what they love, no matter the weather. Patagonia's love of wild and beautiful places demands participation in the fight to save them and to help reverse the steep decline in the overall environmental health of the planet. They use organic cotton; most polyester is recycled. They give moral support - and 1% of sales, $25 million to date - to hundreds of grassroots environmental groups in the U.S., Europe and Japan.

Patagonia is the most eco friendly apparel manufacturer. They have a material they named Capilene which is made of recycled polyester. Patagonia has also set up a program where you can bring in their clothes when you get bored of the style and they will recycle it into new garments. They have recently added organic cotton t-shirts, Polartec fleece and Patagonia fleece to the list of recyclables.
Patagonia helps out a Land Trust in South America where they are trying to conserve habitat with endangered species. Patagonia has sent employees to help with conservation efforts by for example sending them for 3 weeks in the spring and summer to pull fences and help with invasive species…
Patagonia buildings are also going eco friendly. Their new buildings are LEED certified by the U.S. government as green designed and energy efficient. They go with water efficient landscaping, reduce construction waste, use materials with recycled content among many things. The company website has a

In 2000 Belinda won a national title as the 2000 Australian Professional Longboard Circuit Champion and the same year she placed third in the Women's World Longboard Championships in Costa Rica.Videographers: Keith Malloy and Scott Soens
1.The gigantic carnivorous "terror birds" were vicious flightless creatures that could grab dog-sized animals in their mouths. Stephanie Abramowicz2.The "terror bird" stood over 10 feet tall. Stephanie AbramowiczScientists have discovered a skull belonging to a hook-beaked bird that ruled the grasslands of South America. Scientists are calling the bird a "terror bird."The bird didn't fly because it didn't have to. Instead, it put its biological resources into growing bigger and faster than anything else on the continent. It was the largest bird ever and the top predator in South America millions of years ago.Paleontologist Luis Chiappe identified the skull –- the largest on record -– in Argentina. He says this carnivorous bird was ferocious."This is not like a crocodile," says Chiappe. "This was a warm-blooded, enormous [and] very-active bird. With the size of the skull, imagine the damage that skull could have done just by hitting something."The bird is a member of the Pho
Two weeks later, we are standing across from the Perito Moreno glacier in bright sunlight. Now and again, small (by comparison) chunks of ice crash into Lago Argentino. It is quite something just to be this close to such an awesome natural phenomenon. Deep within its blue veins, could there be something magical - Superman’s secret hideaway, perhaps?
When I think of the word gaucho, I think of a pair of loose mid-calf length pants that are not too long, not too short, and not too.... attractive. However, in South American countries the term gaucho is the equivalent of "cowboy." The word gaucho is derived from quechua, a word that means orphan or vagabond. Gauchos were generally nomads of mixed ancestry who lived and worked on the pampas or plains that extends north from Patagonia. Gauchos were known for being great horsemen and in many countries the gaucho is the symbol of an untamed nation much like that of the U.S. cowboy.Patagonia, the southern most portion of South America is also a word that I know in another context and that context has to do with clothes as well. Patagonia is a company that markets outdoor apparel, selling rugged clothing and accessories to mountain climbers, skiers, and other sports lovers and environmentalists willing to pay extra for their products. Besides the well-known Patagonia (outdoor gear and appar

Dopo lultima guerra, alcuni ragazzi inglesi, fra cui lautore di questo libro, chini sulle carte geografiche, cercavano il luogo giusto per sfuggire alla prossima distruzione nucleare. Scelsero la Patagonia. E proprio in Patagonia si sarebbe spinto Bruce Chatwin, non già per salvarsi da una catastrofe, ma sulle tracce di un mostro preistorico e di un parente navigatore. Pubblicato nel 1977 come opera prima, questo libro appartiene alla specie rarissima dei libri che provocano una sorta di innamoramento. La Patagonia di Chatwin diventa, per chiunque si appassioni alla sua scrittura, un luogo che mancava alla propria geografia personale e di cui avvertiva segretamente il bisogno. Casa editrice Adelphi per un costo di euro 8,50. Il tema del viaggio per antonomasia.

Patagonia, Inc., the outdoor gear and apparel company, announced today the expansion of the Common Threads Recycling Program. This program, which initially asked customers to return worn out Capilene baselayers, also known as long underwear, to Patagonia, has expanded to include the collection of used Polartec-branded garments by Patagonia or any other company, and Patagonia cotton tee shirts. With this ground-breaking expansion, these worn-out items will feed Patagonia's own supply chain to make new clothing. With the expansion of this recycling program, Patagonia becomes the first global company in the world to recycle competitors' garments. See the full details at Patagonia.com.

One of our brilliant guides is standing by the sink-hole to hold on to each visitor while we look down. I am about half way down the queue. Everyone else has made it more or less intact and is now climbing the other side. I keep my penguin walk going steady right to the last step, and then start to feel my balance going. Instinctively, I push one leg out to balance myself, then realise I am going the other way. So I push back - right into the arms of our guide who grabs me with all the strength he can muster and utters a small cry of genuine concern. Without him there, I would probably have disappeared down that sink-hole forever.
