Clean Up....Where to Begin

Port-au-Prince has no sanitation department as far as I could tell.  Words cannot describe the amount of trash that has filled that city.  These pictures are an accurate description, however....
There is a system of canals that traverse the city.  These canals are filled with trash... styrofoam food containers, soda bottles...more trash than I have ever seen.  Just having to look at so much trash was depressing.  I can hardly imagine what it must be like to live amongst the rubbish.
Invariably, in these canals, you would also see sights like this....
