Who am I
- My name is Sherry. I was born in Taiwan and moved to the US at age 10. I am married to a wonderful loving man and I am a mother of an active and playful 4 year old, who always inspires me to live in the moment.
- I am a student of life and am currently enrolled in the School of Business working on a BA in International Business at at Humboldt State University. I have always been drawn toward the concept of Appropriate Technology and I am looking forward to putting those concepts to work and turning them into something functional.
I am passionate about 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 and surrounding myself with nature. Some of my topics of interests in appropriate technology includes
- Permaculture
- Sustainable living
- Repurposing and reusing material for building
- Off Grid living
- Alternative energy- solar and wind energy
- Organic gardening
- Natural building materials
- Waste reduction
- Composting
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. My husband and I built our green house, chicken coop, and compost bin and we are always looking to take on home improvement projects that are sustainable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Gathering
- Camping
- Wilderness survival
- Gardening
- Raising Chickens
- Building a green house with recycled windows and doors.
