30 Days (2005)
S01E05 Off the Grid
Episode Overview
Two thirty-something friends, embodying the typical American lifestyle of heavy fossil fuel consumption, decide to embark on a transformative journey. They travel back in time to experience a life without the natural resources that are rapidly depleting. Relocating to a Missouri eco-village, they commit to living entirely off the grid. Nestled in a repurposed grain bin, they harness solar and wind energy, become experts in recycling waste, adopt a car-free lifestyle, and cultivate organic gardens. The challenge lies in whether they can break free from their old habits and adapt to a sustainable community vastly different from their New Jersey roots. Will the eco-friendly practices they embrace endure beyond their thirty-day experiment?
