Great video, just a rarity among all here on youtube, you sure are a great thinker.
Living off the grid is something that has been going around in my mind for quite some time. The thing is, living off the grid should not: be expensive, available for all, not isolate people but uniting them. That is when I think it could actually work. The more we loosen our self from this crazy consumer society the better, but a community like you described is certainly not the way to do so.

What then are somne of your ideas? Are you vegetarian? I myself am a raw foodist, but before I went raw, I was a vegetaran for a while. I think that the meat undustry is abusive to animals, and that must certainly stop too. I would love to hear some of your ideas, maybe we can feed off of each other and start something.

@annabrixthomsen "BINGO", I know you would get it.
There is nothing else for me to say.
I'll see you my friend.

@BadassCeino LOL - Nooooo!!! Let's simply show ourselves first - - simply as equals. It is time we come down to Earth from the spacy spaces of the mind as knowledge and energy where one is always superior or inferior to another - let's live in equal dignity. no masters - no slaves
Great video and I agree wholeheartedly, there's a community here in Scotland called Findhorn and it's nothing more than a place for rich people to build whimsical houses under the guise of spirituality and reconnecting to the earth. Why does a childless couple need a huge 4 bedroomed house to reconnect to the earth? It's very sad to see genuine ideas turning into just another business venture for the people involved :(

@mei5050 - YES! I used to dream about moving to Findhorn when I was spiritual and later I realized not only how diluted it is, but also that the people that are living in these communities through their non-participation and refusal to take actual and equal responsibility for what is here, are actively co-creating the abuse, inequality and suffering in this world - and I had been one of them, totally missing the point of what equality really is. Thanks for bringing this up!

I think communities can make a difference by not only being sustainable, but by inviting people that aren't interested in sustainable living to come out and learn their way of life. I agree with your video on many points. I just wish there were something people could do to change the world when there are people out there that don't seem to care. I do think that using trash to build your home (like earthships) actually do help, because they are reusing tires, and other trash.

@lusterwings - The Solution is to consider All life equally - this is what has never before been done - a solution implemented based on a starting-point of what is in fact best for all. Each of us are equally responsible for the whole that is here and as such require to realign and re-educate ourselves to live in a way where we stand as that responsibility in support and care of all life. That solution is an Equal Money System and a re-education of each of us. Check out the websites for more.

@annabrixthomsen Yeah, I think that's the issue, is taking care of others the way we would take care of ourselves. What do you think someopne can do without much income? I keep thinking I should maybe contact a rep for the local community and tell them that I am frustrated that supermarkets still have plastic bags, and that's just one issue. There seems to be so many, and I think first it starts with us and how we live our lives, then by what we teach others too. I like your video.

@lusterwings - What is required is solutions that involves and considers all - it might see un-graspable at first, yet it is none the less vital - we require to realize that we are really in this mess all together and therefore we require solutions that is based on considerations of what is best for all, not only humans or one's own family, but all life. Each can participate in making their 1 vote count and standing as an example, however we require to do that together as a group.
