"Gina is extremely passionate about the preservation of the environment. She presented in our workplace and challenged even the most environmentally conscious folks. She ties together labor markets, farming practices, and health so that one really does understand how the choices one makes affects not only oneself, but a much wider community - and of course, the environment. Her enthusiasm shines through as she presents." -P. Higson, Human Resources at Google
