What are our natural resources/agriculture venues in our community? How do we ensure that we use our resources in ways that promote a healthy environment, a strong economy and a vibrant community?
There are many natural resources and agricultural venues in our community like at the Petaluma dump where engineers utilize the community’s trash’s excrements of methane gas.

They need to be conscious of what they are using, and when they have waste, they need to properly dispose of it.

Give an example of one or more presenters from our day and list the leadership qualities each possesses with examples.
One of the presenters was an engineer who worked at the Petaluma dump, and he explained how Petaluma gets renewable energy that is capable of powering a city like Windsor. This person was patient, intelligent, and hardworking. He worked alongside other engineers to be able to extract energy from
