Self-sustainable off-grid living

With energy costs going through the roof and food prices contently on the rise, more and more people in the UK are warming to the idea of living off-grid. With today’s technologies, well designed off-grid homes offer a viable opportunity of living a self-sustainable and autonomous lifestyle, without missing out on any modern-day creature comforts.

There are many misconceptions that living off-grid entails moving to a remote log cabin, with no heating, miles away from anywhere. With your only water source a local stream or river.

Today’s modern off-grid living can’t be further away from that myth. Although if you want to live like Grisly Adams, you are more than welcome to.

Self-sustainable off-grid living is a passion of Ashley’s and is currently designing his own off-grid contemporary home. Which will be totally autonomous and self-sufficient for energy, water and sewage. It will ultra energy efficient, as well as harvesting and recyling the majority of its water used.

I believe that self-sustainable off-grid living is the future and more people need to be going down this road. Whether you live in the countryside or an urban environment, a self-sustainable off-grid lifestyle is fully achievable
