Mark Janeczko is an environmental enthusiast who had a 30-plus year career working as an environmental specialist on water quality and pollution issues. He holds a degree in conservation and wildlife management and served with Americorps as a ranger with the U.S. Forest Service. He continues to dedicate his life to a healthy and diverse planet. Diane Miller has tried to live her life as close to the land as possible. During the decade when she lived in an off the grid cabin in the woods, she learned from the plants and animals about the power of our actions, and sometimes, nonactions. She is a communication professor who encourages her students to question dominant narratives, expose logical fallacies, and advocate for interests beyond their own. Mark and Diane live at the edge of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
