A few months ago, Joe came across a blog called "Live Lightly." We were trying to come up with ideas to remodel the RV, and he stumbled on the site. The Live Lightly Tour is comprised of Matt and Sara Janssen and their 3 year old daughter, Bella. They are travelling around the country in their veggie oil powered RV, teaching people about more simple, sustainable living. They have a very cool website at www.livelightlytour.com. Sara takes amazing photos--you can follow some links and see her work on her Flickr site (she's the one who encouraged me to get on the ball and post stuff to Flickr!)
We have a lot in common with the Janssens, so we were excited to learn that they would be in Grand Rapids on a tour stop this past weekend. We got to have lunch with them at my parent's house, they came to our open house, then we hung out a bit downtown the next day. We had a lot of questions for them since they are a few months ahead of us on their journey of RV living....and Joe and Matt talked endlessly about veggie oil collection and systems. I especially appreciate their commitment to getting Christians to think about sustainable living and "creation care"...and showing us that it isn't so complicated to care for the earth! The Janssens are an inspiring family and we were glad to spend some time with them. We hope to catch up with them again when they get out to CA in the Spring.
There are some photos of our time with the Janssens here.
