It makes me sick to read stories like this in the news.
We don’t need ethanol in our gas; we need to send corn to Haiti. Better yet, we should foster more programs to help Haitians grow their own food.
We can abolish hunger and our own obesity epidemic simultaneously. All we need to do is consume less and allocate our resources where they’re needed most. Instead of spending them trying to secure the last of the world’s non-renewable energy sources (oil in the Middle East), we should be helping people like the Haitians.
We must let our politicians know how we feel about world poverty and urge them to take action. The only way to achieve world peace is if world hunger and poverty are abolished.

The Haitian story should be a warning to the rest of us- We'll all be eating dirt if we don't address the universal issues of overpopulation and unsustainable land use.
On the positive side, here's a non-profit that working for reforestation and sustainable agriculture on Haiti.
