This campaign, that the Ministry carried out in collaboration with the Metropolitan Service Solid Waste Collection (SMCRS), aims to restore the sanitation of the main cities of the country by changing the behavior and attitudes of the citizens, because "if every citizen commits to keep clean the area around which he lives, the country will be cleaner," stressed the Ministry.

The first day of civism, will begin Saturday, June 22 from 9:00 am at the Champs de Mars in the presence of President Michel Martelly, Jean Francois Thomas, Minister of Environment, Donald Parison, Director General of SMCRS, of Delegate of West, Mr. Gonzague Day, the Mayors of the Metropolitan Area and certain members of the Government.

Subsequently, these activities will continue at (where ditching and cleaning works of the Canal Bois de Chêne will take place) and in "Bas de la Ville" to arrive in Cité Soleil, where wil be visited the landfill Truitier [the largest in the country].

The Ministry of Environment called all Haitian citizens, youth, children, elderly, adult, public institutions, private companies, colleges, universities, professors, merchants, artists... to get involved in this campaign.
