They have been building a lovely garden on the 1/4 acre block they rent, which feeds them well...then along came the landlord... http://www.nourished.com.au/articles/off-grid-or-on So many enthusiastic pioneers of the new frontier are being thwarted by their reluctance or inability (same dif) to own the land they live on. Unfortunately, there IS a grid, something we can't ignore. These guys have decided to have a party to raise funds and awareness around the issue of suburban permaculture and community wealth. Perhaps they should keep going and raise enough to buy the property from the grid, for their community. As for awareness, now is the time to use the media grid, with everyone freaking about oil prices, my bet is $100 by the end of the year, the media will eat this kind of story up. Thank you off-grid for doing your bit. Blessings Joanne A group of young, motivated permaculture enthusiasts in Melbourne, Australia are having an interesting time living off-grid.
