What if the entire world went "Off the grid"

in #life7 years ago (edited)

If you look around, and see all of these megacities all over the world you'll notice that most people live in these!

Now here in Central U.S. we are used to a lot of LAND ( including farms, miles of cows, solar fields, and wind farms)

Going off grid

I assume with 7.4 billion people in the world it might be difficult to have a farm for EVERYBODY in the world, but what would it be like if a lot more people tried.

Going off grid doesn't mean that you have to sleep in a tent, and use the bathroom in the woods..

Or even going out to the middle of nowhere!

But it does mean being able to be self sustainable!

Here is a great example of a FULLY sustainable home.

Also for those of us if not all of us who enjoy "staying connected" it seems like more and more everyday technology is launched that improves the ability to connect the entire world!

So even if we're still "Off the grid" we can still be connected :D

Conclusion

It doesn't matter where you start (even if it's just a portable solar charger and some water purification tablets) the point is to start thinking differently about how we live and who we really rely on.

Interesting thought experiment. I think a more sustainable method is for neighborhood grids using a myriad of methods for power generation.
