Hello,
A website I contribute to has inspired me to share this way of life with more people. The "off grid lifestyle" covers a wide range of people, interests and levels of commitment to the experience. They come to this choice for differing reasons as well. Some get involved for economic reasons, some because of experiencing foreclosures, some for spiritual reasons, some do it to help keep the ecosystem in balance. Many are frustrated with or have been harmed by the "business as usual" mentality in America, or see real moral implications with going along with a damaging set of beliefs, such as "the ends always justify the means". A deep sense of questioning has settled into the hearts of many Americans, and rightly so. Some have found some sense of solace, or purpose in some form and level of off grid living. Many of the people who make a partial or full transition to this way of living day to day find their sense of control over their own lives returning, as well as a sense of hope returning. I am well into the process of reading Nick Rosen's book: Off The Grid and I am enthralled by the stories and examples it contains. I highly recommend this book if anyone simply wants a fascinating read or a fresh perspective on life. And also be sure to have a look at the website if you are interested in finding out more about the topic or the people involved: www.off-grid.net. Thank you, and have a great day. Therese.
