What has been done to resolve the problem of electricity or preserving the environment of Haiti?""" The consequences of the blackouts are enormous due to the difficulties for students, a lack of industry and thus employment, lower productivity, a decrease in the quality of health care quality, all of which lead to insecurity, violence, and poverty.""" """Haiti is not even in the game when it comes to preserving the environment.

Not even protecting the tree-cover that is left. There are some international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and grassroots organizations doing their part but until the Haitian government and the civil society prioritize the environment, these groups will be treading water."""Because of erosion the soil in the countryside is becoming less productive each year. This means less food, less health, more people streaming into Port-au-Prince and less stability which leads to poverty, crime, and isolation.

By all means, we need to tackle crime, but we need to go after the root causes as well."""I believe this says it all!
