Name: Jody
Location: Round Hill, Virginia
We lived in a 3,500 square-foot house, and owned five other traditional American homes. One day, when looking over finances, we realized we were both working to support our home. The house owned us. At the same time, we'd been questioning our carbon footprint. I "blame" that on the Solar Decathlon. We went to several of the Department of Energy-sponsored competitions and each time came away in awe; it was possible to live well and, at the same time, tread more lightly on the planet. We started talking about how much space we really needed, how we could live more sustainably and what we wanted to do with our lives. It was a game-changing conversation.
