Cindy Hanson

Details

DescriptionCindy Hanson’s history with AERO began with her tenure as a VISTA service member in 1980, working on AERO’s CAMEO program (County Assessment of Montana’s Energy Options). The program placed service members in small communities around the state to promote solar and wind energy. Cindy’s stories in this interview focus on her CAMEO experiences - running workshops on building solar dryers, ovens and food dehydrators; bringing people together to host renewable energy fairs, and the challenges of convincing county commissioners to consider energy conservation as a young 20-something. Cindy’s takeaways include an appreciation for how instrumental AERO and Northern Plains Resource Council were in those early years in bringing awareness to people; the value of the camaraderie and collaboration AERO provided, and how AERO values were embodied in her choices for sourcing flowers for her floral business, The Herb and Garden.TypeSoundCreatorAEROGenresound recordingsLanguageengSubjectSustainable energyAlternative energy sourcesSustainable energy sourcesSustainable agricultureContributing InstitutionAlternative Energy Resources OrganizationGeographic CoverageMontanaTime Period Represented1974-2019Digital CollectionAEROs 45 years of impactDigital Formataudio/mp3Digitization SpecificationsBorn digital recordings.
