About
This blog is about a young couple learning to live well together. What does it mean to live well?
We want to find success without getting caught up in the neverending quest for more money. We want to find happiness in all the ways that money can’t buy. We want to live in a way that protects our natural environment and our species without feeling mired in guilt and powerless in the face of global disaster. We want to lead by example, to be models in our community. We want to be honest, helpful, useful, good people.
There are a lot of blogs out there with articles about green living but many of them seem overwhelming (stop driving your car or the baby seals will all die!) or impractical (buy a $500,000 solar system to power your home guilt-free!) We want to offer our story of two relatively average people just doing what they can to live well as a couple.
Who are we? We are a soon-to-be-married (October 18) couple in our late 20’s living in Bloomington, Indiana.
Maggie has a Bachelors Degree in Agricultural Engineering from Purdue University and after several years as an environmental consultant she is now working as the director of the Local Growers Guild (a cooperative of farmers) and as an environmental educator for Sycamore Land Trust. She is very interested in sustainable living and has devoured many books, attended many workshops, and spent a beautiful summer in Oregon studying permaculture and eco-village design at Lost Valley Educational Center.
Will has Bachelors Degrees in Computer Science and Philosophy from North Caroline State and an almost complete Masters in Immersive Mediated Environments from Indiana University. He works for a game development company he started with several of his fellow students. He is interested in doing the research to find the best ways to live sustainably.
