Hannah Stoll wanted to share the stories of interesting, unique people, teach listeners about the many ways people are living sustainably off-grid, and communicate the challenges and opposition faced by those who choose this way of life. In a seven episode series, we hear from people living off grid on Colorado’s Front Range and a geodesic dome and an “earthship” in Taos, New Mexico.
