Decathlete of the Week!

Gina Butler. 

Classification: Appropriate Technology Major, Undergraduate Senior

Job Title: Landscape Designer

Joined Team: January 2011

How did you get involved?

"I started a green roof independent study and then started talking to Dr. Houser. I had heard of the project through word of mouth but then really became interested after talking with Dave Lee after a solar presentation. And now I'm here!"

The Best Part?

"Definitely the people. Everyone that I've worked with has been amazing. Also, I can't grow anything where I live, so being able to grow here is awesome."

Outside the Team?

"When I'm not at the HQ I like listening to a lot of music, gardening, reading & sitting on the couch and hanging out with my boyfriend."

Favorite Candy Bar?

"I don't really like candy bars. I work at an ice cream and fudge place, so candy gets old fast. I'm more of a salty person. "

Ok, so Favorite Salty Snack?

"Oh, white cheddar popcorn."

Random Question of the Day:

Would you rather only be able to speak to animals or only know 7 words?

"Speak to animals. I love animals. I've always wanted to know what my cat is thinking when she's begging for food."
