Where We Came From & Where We Are Going: Part 1

Image
      The history of our origin is vital to understanding where we are going. Let’s go back to the historic days of the Mayflower when the American entrepreneurial spirit was born; back to when John Howland, the patriarch of his family and one of the 41 signers of the Mayflower Compact, first touched American soil. Although the family has been prominent for centuries, they have a quiet way of doing what needs to be done, without ever asking for credit or calling attention to their actions. Generation after generation passed down their passion for expansion, building the nation, and the desire to better their world.      One such ancestor was Gardinier Howland.

Have you ever heard of the American Maritime Highway?

Have you ever heard of the American Maritime Highway? Everyone has heard of and likely traveled on highways in a car or a bus or received goods along these highways, but the American Maritime Highway is a widely untouched network when it comes to transportation.  The vast network of highways on land is used with reckless abandon, and because of this, various greenhouse gasses are released into the atmosphere on a daily basis, damaging the air and furthering the problem of pollution in the United States. Every day, these highways are used to transport people and goods; companies like Amazon, Walmart, Publix, etc., transport goods along these highways, utilizing automobiles and highways. “However, America's waterways are underused. The benefits of using our marine waterways -- such as reducing landside congestion and reducing system wear and tear -- are not perceived on an individual level. Using our waterways more consistently would create more public benefits and incentivize shippe...
