It’s Illegal to Live off the Grid in the State of Florida
Robin Speronis lives off the grid in Florida, completely independent of the city’s water and electric system. A few weeks ago, officials ruled her off-grid home illegal.

Photos of people living off-the-grid in the United States
Living ‘off the grid’ can entail going without some common luxuries.
Eric Valli spent 3 years taking photos of people in the United States who have “decided to live light on the earth.” The photographs are terrific.
