On his climate-neutral home in Oberlin: "For almost three decades we imagined building a passive solar house ... After a very intense two years, we moved into Trail Magic, our home among kindred spirits dedicated to creating a more durable future." [more]Kristin Braziunas '08
On coordinating the Light Bulb Brigade: "Ten months, 10,000 light bulbs, and one bachelor's degree later... this is something that for me has come to define Oberlin." [more]Lucas Brown '09
On SEED house: "Oberlin's support network made our successes possible. SEED demanded skills like composting, caulking, persuading, public speaking, and econometric analysis, and for each skill we required, we found an expert willing to teach it." [more]
Our goal is to collect 1000 Oberlin stories, and so far we have 130. If you are an Oberlin student, alum, professor, or staff member, you can help by contributing your story.
