helima croft, thank you. >>> random but important we sat down with petra nemcova this week.f the disaster charity all hands and hearts we asked nemcova about the recovery efforts still under way in puerto rico, following hurricane maria, that need we remind you hit nearly two years ago. here is what she told us. >> the funding is not there. it's been so heartbreaking the government of puerto rico estimated the damage to be 24 to 32 billion on housing only and the u.s. government committed to 1 billion so the gap is so tremendous. >> whoa also asked about the best ways to help t wasn't what she said about giving that caught our attention it's what she said about throwing away. >> we have to think about the whole arc of a natural disaster and on average it takes four to five years for families to go back on their legs we cannot forget them two months later. and the same happens with goods. 60% of goods end up in a landfill. >> think about that. 60%. thank you very much. you're watching "worldwide exchange." "squawk box" will pick up the coverage next. >>> good morning fed hold
