Toronto Haiti Action Committee (THAC)

I'm staying in a guest house in Haiti, and yesterday morning, the person who runs the house was telling me that one of the initiatives that Cuba has here is an initiative to save electricity. Cuba hired people to go door to door and take people's incandescent bulbs and replace them with fluorescent "green" bulbs. They figure that the reduction in energy consumption might be enough to enable big cities to have 24-hour electricity.

Cuba's projects, here, are always simple, down-to-earth programmes.
