Who am I
- My name is Sherry. I was born in Taiwan and moved to the US at age 10. I am currently in the School of Business working on a BA in International Business. I have always been drawn toward the concept of Appropriate Technology and am looking forward to putting those concepts to work.
- I am a student of life at Humboldt State University. I am currently enrolled in Appropriate Technology 305.
Interests in Appropriate Technology
I grew up in the city of Taipei, Taiwan and moved to Houston, TX when I was 10 years old. Growing up and living in crowded cities most of my childhood has sparked my interest in alternative and sustainable life styles. I found myself gravitating towards a simpler life style surrounded by nature. Some of my topics of interests in appropriate technology includes
- Sustainable living
- Repurposing and reusing material for building
- Off Grid living
- Alternative energy- solar and wind energy
- Growing your own food
- Natural building materials
Experience in Appropriate Technology
This is my first time taking a class in this topic. I have been exposed to different types of appropriate technology through various experiences such as attending over a dozen of national Rainbow Gatherings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Gathering
- Camping
- Wilderness survival
- Gardening
- Raising Chickens
- Building a green house with recycled windows and doors.
