I’ll tell you where to start. I stopped bathing, and haven’t bathed in 2 years or so. I’ve taken a shower maybe once every few months, like people used to in the old days. I do the occasional sponge bath, or go into a bathroom and throw sodium laureth under my arms, if I feel I might offend someone with my stink. Then again I think people putting all that ax and oderant on themeslves, flowers, musk, all that shit, I think that **** stinks…and it personally offends me, so **** em.

I am not saying that water isn’t recycled in many places but in the town where i live the water goes to the treatment plant & once processed it goes to the spray area which is a 200 acer piece of land
I have been there & seen the entire process i know that this is not the way it’s done in a big city but it works in the small town that i live in just fine

srry ,your mistaken,your water is recycled,not alot of people understand that but its how it works,yes some of the water comes from resiviors but not all of it, an average household of 4 people can use upto 200litres + per day Flushing,drinking,bathing/showering,etc, etc.

I am doing much the same in Northern Ontario. Note, the lady briefly mentions they have a generator. It is hard to get away from one. As far as the drinking water, this is how a septic system works. You can be sure the water is further purified with a filter system before they consume it. I seriously doube they collect waste water in a container and process it directly.

no they have a holding pond & in warm weather they have a very large area that they spray the water on . the water goes into the ground & it is obsorbed by trees & plants.I’m sure at some point it works it way back into the local water table. but it is NOT pumped back into the pond which is our source of drinking water.
I live in the lakes region of NH
there is water everywhere

im sure your water system recycles water back into your pond, its how every town does!!! if not it is a very waste full system, you must treat it before it goes back into ther river? or pond so it gets used somewhere, if not thanx for screwing everyone else lol

no where i live the water comes from a huge pond way up in the hills.
so i am drinking rain water & probably water from underground springs that also feed the pond

i would rather live in the ditch & sleep in a cardboard box than live in a subdivision.
why would you want to live in a place where everyone but you decides what you can & can’t do?

do you realize you’re already doing that? city water is the exact thing you’re talking about.

I just don’t see what the problem is
electricty is cheep . I live alone & except in the summer when the A/C is on i only use between 150 & 300kw per month
so i am only paying between $15 & $30 per month.

Amazing.
Those who are jealous of other people’s money should move to North Korea. Oh, I get it, you just want socialism. Sorry. The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money. Hey Madhippymun and duddevil, when was the last time a poor person offered you a job? Wake up and smell the coffee.

coffee contains programming, is highly addictive and kills all good and bad bacteria in your stomach… it is acid forming and constitutes bad health..
but something tell me u are addicted and will carry on sipping those nasty cappuccinos…

yes it pisses me off that if you have money going off grid is SOOOO easy – but that is the failinf of this system – but no way does that detract from the efforts they are making – like ALL of us there is probably areas we could poke fun at or criticise – yeah coffee is not sustainable blah blah – we all have to start somewhere – again though it really PISSES me off that it takes money to do this when many of us poorer folk would dearly love to do it

While your point is valid in many cases, Bill and Lorraine built their own house themselves for significantly less than you would pay in a subdivision. The difference is they made the environment their priority. I publish BiIls books and also live off the grid, and I make much less than the median North American income. It’s just priorities. My priority is energy independence and getting my house to be Zero-carbon. You can do it, you just have to make it your priority as the Kemp’s did.
