It used to be an absolutely beautiful place. Unfortunately they’ve clear-cutted everything. All the trees are gone from the bottom of the hills right up to the highest point. So every evening there is a down pour of rain and it’s torrential. So all of that rain washes all of the topsoil from the tops of the hills all the way down and it just cascades all the way through the streets and flows right into the oceans. So all the topsoil is gone. They can’t grow anything. All that topsoil is now in the ocean and it’s destroying the coral reefs, pushing the fish stocks farther and farther away and their little boats aren’t capable of getting farther and farther away for fishing. So it’s a, it’s a ever evolving disaster until someone, you know, really gets it together. Plant trees, and show them how to work again and I don’t know. I don’t know where to start. It’s so vast. It’s so vast. It’s to me hopeless.
