Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
I am an adult student who has gone back to school full time. I am working towards a degree in Historic Preservation and a certificate in Sustainable Design. Preservation, Sustainability and urban / regional planning have always been an interest of mine.
What excites you about this campaign?
A campaign needs a visible leader with the money to get attention. Kind of like Lance Armstrong and his cancer campaign. I believe T. Boone gives this campaign the visibility and media attention it needs.
What do you want to do to help?
I am open to all ideas and requests.
