The Live Lightly Tour

As part of Blog Action Day that is focusing on the blogging about the environment, climate change, and sustainability, I thought I would share information with you about the Live Lightly Tour.

A Des Moines Family, Sara and Matt Janssen, and 3 year old Bella, took off on the Live Lightly tour on September 17th in an RV that has gone through an environmentally friendly remodel and runs on straight vegetable oil. They are travelling the country for the next year to help educate people on sustainable living and tour the US while they are at it.

I had a chance to meet the Janssen's at the Iowa Renewable Energy Expo before they headed off. They seem to cool people with a really cool idea to tour the US.

The family is currently in Portland, Maine. You can read more about the trip on Sara's blog and see pictures here.

**Update**
Sara has a blog post up with reflections of their first month on the road.
