Our speaker is Tom Butler, owner of Butler Quality Pork & Renewable/Green Energy Farm in Lillington, North Carolina. Tom was born and raised on a traditional row crop/livestock farm. He is a waste to energy system innovator and activist for clean energy and the environment. The Butler farm also has a solar power installation. Tom's work is a very current subject for North Carolina sustainability.
