== Interests in Technology and the Environment ==
== Interests in Appropriate Technology ==
Right now I am most interested in learning more about alternative energy. If I could, I would someday like to work with my two favorites, solar and wind.
Some of my interests in Appropriate Tech are:
I am really passionate about working with my hands and doing/learning more about construction right now. I am interested in learning how I can make homes more energy and water efficient.
*Learning how to live more sustainably on a day to day basis.
Lastly, I would like to learn more about how we can be productive with all the food waste we as Americans create. I am really stoked on the idea of a food "digester" being used in Arcata and would like to do some research on how much energy that would generate.
*Both altering and creating the world we live in.  
*Learning how to build technologies that help to minimize human impact on our resources like, rainwater catchment systems, greywater systems, passive/active solar energies, and water efficient gardens.
*Find out how Appropriate Tech can be cost effective.
*Find easy ways to incorporate it into people's lives.

About Me

Annika Ragsdale
I am an Environmental Science student at Humboldt State University and I am a Studio Art minor. I have many interests and those are just two of the subjects I am passionate about. Additionally, I love; working with wildlife, building things, baking, biking, hiking, kayaking, bird watching, badminton, yoga, and reading a good book.

Interests in Appropriate Technology

Some of my interests in Appropriate Tech are:

  • Learning how to live more sustainably on a day to day basis.
  • Both altering and creating the world we live in.
  • Learning how to build technologies that help to minimize human impact on our resources like, rainwater catchment systems, greywater systems, passive/active solar energies, and water efficient gardens.
  • Find out how Appropriate Tech can be cost effective.
  • Find easy ways to incorporate it into people's lives.

Experience in Technology and/or the Environment

  • I have been studying environmental science for four years, so, I have a fair amount of experience with the subject.
  • I have some general experience with computers. I know how to use software like Microsoft Excel, ArcMap, and Minitab.
  • I have experience with building things, as I have previously worked doing maintenance for the National Park Service, worked for my father who is a general contractor, and have helped build enclosures for the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center.
