we think alike
and idealy we should get a group to pull together and buy several hundred acres cheaply build earthen homes and grow food
depending on where we do it we could do it with an investment of only 1000 a person for the land tho better l;ands lil more
i too draw up plans for eco freindly homes all the time and daytdream bout building and living that way
I've been talking for years to my friends about that very same idea but they say their not "into it" i don't think its something we as a human race need to be "into" I just feel if we want any chance to survive on this planet we need to revert back to this way of life. at occupy in Greensboro N.C. I found a group of like minded individuals that threw around hundreds of great ideas like a community truck "Bio-diesel of course" just in case something large needs to be moved or gotten from town or many other reasons but other then that never just to ride around, and a communal farm is something I'm jumping into this next season, I've had my own personal garden but its never been large enough to live off of and still preserve enough food for the winter but I talked to my landlord about this piece of land across from my house just siting there "I live in the country so it helps a lot" its about an acre and he said he wants to plant corn on half of it and I can use the rest for my own garden so I'm going full bore this year my goal is to never have to step foot in a store to get food again, and any one that lives around my can get fresh organic food (if you live near me and want to come by and help or just to grab a fresh meal drop me a message and I'll tell you whats ripe 
) so yeah I'm trying to get every thing worked out while I'm saving up money for the land, and if we get a large enough collective of like minded life and earth friendly people we can do what SE was talking about and live A happy life in a magical world of peace and love

I agree that it would be nice to live as simple as possible, but there is a reason we have flush toilets. Back when we didn't, disease spred much more quickly. People didn't live too long back then. The average life expectancy was something like 45 years. 45 is middle age now, I don't want to be "old" at 40. There are some thing we can absolutely live without, but then again, there are thing that are just good for our safety and health
human exrements make great fertilizers Baba lol. takes about a year to compost completely but still, if its managed properly there is no disease.
the conflict i have is that i see people living to one extreme, as opposed to the other. your born into a society that has everything easy, and being born into that type of environment you dont know how hard your ancestors had it, therefor all of this electricity and technology is severely taken for granted. there is no balance. this makes me feel like i have to live my life to the other extreme, no electricity or running water.
