The Smiths used to live in the fast lane. Ray would leave the sleeping household early in the morning and return home late when the kids were tucked up in bed. Although they had a outwardly pleasant life, a nice house in the suburbs and two cars, Tracey and Ray felt unfulfilled and frustrated. Tracey tells their story and describes how downshifting worked for them. Link: http://thegreenparent.co.uk/319/
