Thanks Katie!
I remember being very curious about the life his daughter must lead too--how many people grow up in a yurt? I think it takes brave parents to raise a child like that too, since I would imagine that the reason many adults who are concerned about the same environmental causes that Buzz is would give for living a more conventional, energy-consuming life is the well-being of their children. But Buzz and Mrs. Buzz let their daughter go out and find her own food in the forest! (They talked about this last year, I don't know if they mentioned it this year, but they said she could just go out and know which plants were edible and bring back a basket full of food at age, I dont know 7 or something ridiculous.) They remind me in a way of Paul Farmer--an extreme example of living the cause, so that all of us realize the extent that we could be committing ourselves, and hopefully push us to do a little more.
