(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have a partner and 2 kids...ages 18 and 20. Just about to have an "empty nest." I work in higher education and I am also a graduate student working on a doctoral degree. I have 2 cats and 1 dog and am passionate about trying to live as sustainable a lifestyle as possible.
