A crash course in changing the world.
It is independents day! Yes, our community is celebrating its independence from the grid. It is the first anniversary of our
independence and we are celebrating by hosting a neighborhood block party by
torchlight (all lights are being turned out in celebration). This is going to be one fabulous
celebration.
Our neighborhood effort started with three houses. From these seeds it spread. As one of the owners of the original three houses – I knew very little about going “off grid.” However, in 2010 we used websites like How Living Off
the Grid Works to get started. We
started with solar power because of the 2010 State (Colorado) rebate programs (see
this historical site). And over the years we kept making
progress. Next was gas, water, and
telephone – until the year 2017. In 2017
the three original houses were completely off gird and in 2019 our entire
neighborhood had accomplished the same.
We are looking forward to tonight’s celebration. We are very proud of our work.
