Off Grid: Nature Powered Homes

Resumen del Libro

Interest in living off the grid, i.e. self-sufficiently without relying on public services such as the municipal water supply, electricity, or local sewage and gas systems, has come on the scene as a greener, cheaper, and more independent way of life. Homes that are off-grid generally allow for a smaller carbon footprint, and a sense of freedom and self-sufficiency. Living Off-Grid sets you free from depending on a company, either using solar panels, wind turbines, a micro water system, or a combination of these technologies. Other times, an Off-Grid system can work as an energy backup or be complemented by the grid when renewable technologies cannot produce all the energy needed. We have gathered different examples of nature-powered homes, which are partially or completely off-grid, to focus on the importance of these homes, which put sustainability first.

LA DUCHA COMO DISPOSITIVO

Ducharnos es algo que hacemos sin reflexionar más allá de la imagen que el mercado nos ha convencido con tal intensidad, que no dudamos de ella. El cuerpo mismo ha pasado a ser un objeto de consumo de la vida privada, dentro del espectáculo del confort. El ideal de lo bello, joven y limpio en la ducha es un producto construido recientemente para alimentar nuestro imaginario.
