I want to apologize that I didn't respond to your request earlier; it is just that I have been very busy lately.

About Haiti buying trash from the United States:
I haven't really read any recent article about Haiti buying trashes from Miami; I think I have once read from an article that Miami was interested in sending hurricanes` made debris (wreck trees) to Haiti because they says it costs them more to completely destroy them than to just send them to Haiti.

And Haiti could use those `debris`` to make charcoal.

Probably, the idea was quickly dismissed because I have not heard about it since, and that was more than a year ago.

To clarify about the new deal Between the Delaware company and Haitian business leaders:
A Delaware shipping company called ¨Robinson, Mellinger, Storm Inc. and Haitians business leaders made a deal last Wednesday where Haiti will buy scrap wood and lumber from Delaware, and those scrap woods when shipped to Haiti will be burned and turn into charcoal for fuel. Although, I think it is very primitive that we are still burning trees for fuel, I am not completely disagree with the idea because I think it will dramatically decrease deforestation in Haiti.

The question I had was ``if we are willing to buy from other countries, why aren't we investing in things that they will be interested to buy from us,
