Haha, well my parents are pretty cool people. They put me in a Krishnamurti school to begin with. People are probably asking them why I turned out like this too. I guess my Dad was influenced by different cultures because his job involved a lot of travel and my Mom has always been an artist and free thinker. So really they didn't need much convincing. They've always been interested in sustainability and instilled it in us as kids. This works out for everyone as it's an investment that will last a lifetime and more. So it made sense to spend a college fund towards a lifestyle instead, and once it takes off they'll have a beautiful place to live too.
