This video features a couple who have built a modern off-grid home in the desert of Arizona. They use rainwater collection to supply their home with water, and they have a system for composting and recycling all the waste they produce. They also keep chickens for eggs and use solar panels to generate their electricity. The couple sees their property as its own ecosystem and try to utilize as many of the resources that are available to them. The video highlights their approach to problem-solving and their belief that many of the limitations to living off-grid are self-imposed. The couple also addresses the legalities of collecting rainwater and notes that it is legal in Arizona, but not in all states. Finally, they explain that they want to add more rainwater collection tanks to get them through dry periods.
