Living Off the Grid
If you're anything like me, you dream of living off the grid; living the sustainable life where you're not dependent on someone else for you food, water, and electricity. It seems like a daunting task, one that forces you to give up ALL the comforts of home. Yet more and more people are going that direction. Last night as I was surfing around for information on sustainable living I came across a series of seven videos following Les Stroud (Survivorman from OLN) and his family on their adventures to go off the grid and live a more sustainable life. For those who think that off grid living is void of any and all civility, check out this documentary. Sure there are lifestyle changes to be made, but responsible ones. Ones that cause us to waste less and treat mother nature with the respect she deserves. The whole documentary is about an hour (give a little) and shows the triumphs as well as the struggles in becoming more sustainable. What I like is this family's honesty during the whole process. It wasn't easy, and a lot of it required outside help, but it is a beginning. We've all got to start somewhere! So check it out!
