<p>Here are some tips for <strong>off grid living</strong>:</p>
<p>•    Research, research, research!  Educate yourself on all the options out there.  Find out which options would be most suitable for your home and lifestyle.  Whether you choose to use solar panels or wind turbine, you need to be aware of all your options.</p>
<p>•    If you live in an area where there is always a nice breeze, you should consider buying or making wind turbine.  Wind turbine will use the power of the wind to generate electricity for your home.  You can buy wind turbine or build some yourself.  A new one may cost you a few thousand dollars, but you can build your own for just $200 or so!</p>
<p>•    You can also consider solar panels.  They will convert rays from the sun into electricity.  Once again, you can either buy them or make your own.  Install them on top of your roof or in your back yard—any part of your property that receives maximum amount of sunlight.</p>
<p>•    There are also guides online that explain how to make bio diesel.  This will cost you next to nothing.  You can use it to heat your home or to make your diesel vehicle run.  Waste oil can be found at restaurants and shops.</p>
<p>Remember, there are step by step guides on the internet that will provide you with all the details you need for making all of these renewable energy generators. You are not alone, many people are choosing this route now.  You should take these tips for off grid living and use them for your advantage!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-137" title="live_off_-the_grid" src="http://www.123gogreen.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/live_off_-the_grid.jpg" alt="live_off_-the_grid" width="128" height="90" />It’s obvious to most of us now that the solution to renewable energy sources can be found with solar panels and wind turbine.  When it comes to cutting down on electric bills, cleaning the environment up, and reducing the need for fossil fuels, the answers lie with living off the grid.  Whether you believe in global warming or not, you’re still probably interested in learning how to live off the grid.  You will be able to save hundreds of dollars a year from cutting down on your current electric costs.<span id="more-89"></span></p>
<p>The first reason you should learn how to <strong>live off of the grid</strong> is because you can eliminate your dependence on fossil fuels.  They can’t be renewed, and they are limited.  They’re also harmful to the environment.  There is a great demand for fossil fuels, and the supply is decreasing at rapid rates.  This energy source is also causing a great deal of harm to the environment.  Needless to say, nothing good will come out of the continued use of limited, nonrenewable, expensive energy supplies.</p>
<p>By choosing alternative methods of receiving energy in your home, you’ll be decreasing your dependence on the grid.  This means that you won’t have to depend on the government or electric companies anymore.  You can obtain energy yourself through wind turbine, solar panels, etc. You will no longer have to worry about power outages or blackouts.  US power grids are also vulnerable when it comes to terrorist attacks.  Protect your family from these potential threats by learning how to live off the grid.</p>
<p>There are obviously plenty of good reasons why you should do the responsible thing and use clean, renewable energy.  In fact, there is no down side!  You can save hundreds of dollars a month and help make the world a cleaner place by learning how to live off the grid!</p>
