We cover off grid news topics from around the world, stories from others living their off grid dreams, and practical advice about growing your own food, prepping &amp; survival, natural health, and homesteading.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What is off grid living?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The simple answer: living off the grid means being disconnected from the public power grid. But there&rsquo;s a lot more to it than that.<\/p>\n<p>For our purposes, off the grid represents a whole lifestyle shift toward a more sustainable existence. You may not be able to uproot your world and move to your secluded off grid dream property in the mountains &ndash; yet &ndash; but regardless of where you live, you can make little changes in other areas of your life to become more sustainable and self-reliant. These changes can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Growing your own food, whether you live on hundreds of acres or in an urban apartment.<\/li>\n<li>Living a healthy lifestyle to avoid the endless cycle of disease, hospitals, and medications that so many people find themselves caught up in.<\/li>\n<li>Achieving financial freedom by living with less, saving more, and enjoying life, all while refusing to become a slave to debt.<\/li>\n<li>Choosing sustainable alternatives when making everyday consumer choices; reducing waste, upcycling materials, and helping to create a greener world.<\/li>\n<li>Utilizing sustainable resources such as solar and wind power and water catchment systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you have an off grid or sustainable living story that would inspire others? <a href=\"https:\/\/offgridworld.com\/contact\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1\">Contact us<\/a> &ndash; we&rsquo;d love to share your story!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Off Grid World is about living off the grid, sustainable living, and renewable energy.
