RE: The numbers show how much of an impact off-grid living can have!

in #unplug8 years ago

It is difficult to give that kind of recommendation for you. Have you contemplated solar systems, greenhouses, water collection, or other techniques to reduce or eliminate your dependency on other corporations or individuals? The options are wide open considering you already live outside of the city. I cannot make recommendations for you. That is your decision to make. Perhaps my blog will spur some ideas to help you tackle the next project! But focus on your needs first. Being able to discern between needs and wants will help focus your projects.

Thanks for your reply. I know it’s a massive question, and different for every person and situation. The move out of a city was the largest step I’ve made thus far. I am looking into solar, but I’m also considering a gray water system, and potentially a composting toilette. The later two will add a lot of benefit for growing food, but the solar power would make the most impact on my dependencies.

I agree and I've written about all those topics already in my blog. I'm not sure how far back you have gone but there are some posts there that touch each of those topics. I hope they help!
