People are the only animals that drink the milk of the mother of another species. All other animals stop drinking milk altogether after weaning. It is unnatural for a dog to nurse from a giraffe; a child drinking the milk of a mother cow is just as strange. - Michael Klaper, M.D.
Dale Lugenbehl has taught philosophy for more than 20 years, the last 12 of which have been at Lane Community College.

He is also a writer as well as a community educator, giving presentations and workshops on a volunteer basis on the above topics.
Sandy Aldridge, currently employed part-time by Lane Community College as a sociology instructor, has long been interested in living more simply "so that others may simply live."
She and her partner, Dale, have built their own modest home and grow 85-90% of the food that they eat.
Other interests include giving presentations on living more lightly, how one's food choices impact the environment, and the connections between peace and sustainability.
