![DArrELL and SYLviA YoDEr, BoTH '81 GrADS, have taken the small-steps approach toward sustainability in their household in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When the old oil furnace gave out, the Yoders installed a geothermal heat pump. Other measures: Replacement windows. Better attic insulation. Solar tubes for more natural light. Laundry drying on the line. Cloth grocery bags. One car for the family of four. A big vegetable garden. Says Darrell: “Small steps make a big difference … and [they] make your life richer.”](http://emu.edu/now/crossroads/files/2011/06/yoders1-190x135.jpg "yoders")
