Let's Build Gonave, Haiti!

I wrote a bit ago about the need for light rail on the island of La Gonave.  To connect such a mountainous rugged land, a train of some type would work well.  Especially moving people and cargo around.  While Ultra Light Rail is by far cheaper than Light Rail due to the tracks being cheaper, installing track, and trains, but it is also easier to put the system in place. Still a ULR system would cost a few million just to cover a few routes in Anse-a-Galets.  To connect Anse-a-Galets to say Pointe-a-Raquettes, would need a bigger Ultra Light rail (ULR) and would be a big investment.  Currently the need for such a system isn't needed.  Not only is the ridership not there, but also the lack of people who could afford to ride the system is very limited.  Initially we pegged the price at about $2-$5 US just for a one way trip.  While that isn't expensive for Americans, it is very costly to many Haitians.  Until the incomes are there, La Gonave ...

The first stage of creating honeybee fodder on La Gonave was started a few days ago.  The Bidens Pilosa seeds have been ordered and will soon arrive at our offices.  The Bidens Pilosa are plants that honeybee love and get a large amount of pollen as well as nectar from.  The State of Florida mentions that this particular plant makes up a large amount of the honeybee fodder for their industry. The plant will undergo some soil tests here.  After that, the plant seeds will then be planted on a park reserve on the island of La Gonave, Haiti.  Also the plant will be placed outside of the city of Anse-a-Galets.  This plant will be in the range of the honeybee, but away from so much human and animal traffic.  Other plants are being considered, and we will give you details as they become available. Go Gonave!
