Off the Grid

"Off the grid" refers to living independently of public utility systems such as electricity, water, and sewage. It often involves generating your own power through solar panels, collecting rainwater, and managing waste locally. This lifestyle allows for greater self-sufficiency, privacy, and environmental sustainability. People choose to go off the grid to reduce reliance on centralized infrastructure, lower their ecological footprint, or for personal or financial reasons. While offering independence, it also requires careful planning and resource management to ensure basic needs are consistently met without connection to public services.
