For a country that has had little to celebrate of late, today put a positive spotlight on Haiti for planting the most trees among all 22 countries taking part in a Caribbean-wide campaign.
At the Caribbean Tree Planting Week signature event co-hosted earlier today by the Clinton Global Initiative, tree-planting supershero Tanama the creation of comic book artist Thony Loui announced that members of the Smallholder Farmers Alliance (SFA) planted 748,946 trees in Haiti since February of last year (click here or the image above to view the 2.5 minute animation).
The SFA’s number represented close to half the total of 1.5 million trees planted throughout the Caribbean from February 2020 to June 2021, noting that the Trees that Feed Foundation also planted trees in Haiti.

Correct application of a common safety procedure would help prevent engulfment, electrocutions, and entanglement incidents involving workers in the US feed, grain and processing sectors, according to OSHA.
In that context, a new interactive
training module on the security mechanism in question – lockout/tagout (LOTO) – has been developed by the US National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA).
“The purpose of the training module is to provide front line workers, supervisors and managers an increased knowledge of different situations and hazards frequently associated with LOTO and to further the discussion around hazard identification and mitigation.”
The six main hazards in the US feed and grain industries, as identified by OSHA, are engulfment, falls, electric related, entanglements, struck-by, and dust explosions.
