Interview 1 Prep

I plan on interviewing a local organic farmer named Jason Harned for my first interview.  I need to interview him because he is an alumni from Cal Poly Pomona who actually practices environmentally friendly sustainable living.  He built his own house out of hay and mud from his property and mounted solar panels on the roof.  He also grows his own organic food.  I will ask about how he sustains his farm without making a significant environmental impact.  Another question I need to ask will be what steps I can take to be more environmentally friendly.
