When Jay and I met in 1997, we were attending a large urban college in Denver. We were completing Bachelor of Science degrees in Environment Science, a very new program at the time. It was essentially a build your own degree based on a variety of classes in biology, geography, geology, botany, soil science, and hydrology. We had a combined total of 12 years in the program and no real idea of what job we could do with this background—except it did leave us with an idea that we wanted to live a more self-sustainable, lesser impact lifestyle.
