Haiti-HCB

Haiti

Haiti lacks the infrastructure that many first world countries take for granted. Haiti has a massive problem with trash. It is everywhere and on hot days -- which there are many, the smell can be dense in the air.  However, Haiti also has gorgeous beaches, beautiful waterfalls, lovely mountains, it is a wonderful place to visit, but the abundant rubbish issue can deter travelers from visiting Haiti.  

Haiti is also known for its abundance of organically grown fresh fruits and vegetables.  The reason HCB launches composting initiative is to leverage the abundance of food waste with a waste reduction plan.  HCB has started with education. People of Haiti do not know what composting is or how to do it. Hovy knew when he went to the states to study in the environmental program. he wanted to do something to help Haiti reduce its waste.  He is now back in Haiti and spreads the word about composting and its benefits.
