I always thought dropping out, going below the grid was impossible or impractical. but slowly, with little lifestyle changes, I realize I'm doing it, at least to a degree. Never owned a car, don't drive. I sail and drive a boat. Been living aboard over a year now, very low impact living. I've learned to be acutely aware of my resource consumption- water, food, supplies, electricity. We use solar panels. DELETED my facebook, got rid of my cellphone since I mostly used it for FB and internet anyway, not really anything necessary. don't shave, stopped cutting or dying my hair, use minimal makeup. recycle and reuse! and almost forgot to mention, don't own or watch TV.... that stuff is brainwashing.
