The link above takes you to a podcast published on the blog "Ditching Suburbia." This podcast is all about downsizing and addressing the issues that can arise when trying to make such a dramatic lifestyle change. This helps people who are considering leaving their daily lives of over consumption and living a less traditional lifestyle. "Ditching Suburbia" is a blog created by the Boyink family, a married couple and their two children, who left their life in the suburbs to travel in an RV full-time. They practice minimalism in their daily lives, and value experiences rather than material things.
Although the blog does not focus much on reducing their carbon footprint, the lifestyle that the Boyink family lives indeed does produce much less of an impact on the environment. Their rejection of consumerism habits makes their carbon footprint significantly smaller than that of the average family in the U.S. For the Boyink family, this way of life is more about living in the moment and strengthening familial relationships, and a positive environmental impact is just an added bonus.
