Episode description: Two 30-year-old professionals who are friends and typical Americans - i.e., ravenous consumers of fossil fuels such as gas and electricity - go "back to the future" and learn to live without the natural resources that will be depleted from our earth in the not-too-distant future. To do this, they'll uproot themselves and move to an "eco village" in Missouri to live 100% Off the Grid. As they set up house in a former 3,000 bushel grain bin, they will sustain themselves on clean power such as solar and wind, recycle all their waste (both food and human), live in a car-free culture, grow and eat only organic foods and conserve their water use with solar showers and rain-catch systems. Can these fossil fuel addicts wean themselves from their consumptive habits without their lives falling apart? Will they thrive in a community that is the total opposite their New Jersey neighborhood? And will the ecological solutions they learn stick once their Thirty Days are up?
