Off the Grid
There are growing number of people
who have decided to live light on the earth
to not be a part of problem anymore
I spent the last few years with four of them
striving for harmony with nature
in the most pristine corners of United States.

A World Without Us - people frequently talk about “saving the planet” when in fact it’s not the planet that needs saving, just the pesky humans inhabiting it. As a case-study on that point, National Geographic had a recent update on the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear event. Surprisingly, even with high levels of radiation remaining in the area, nature is doing better now than when people co-inhabited the area. The planet will do just fine without us.
