10 reasons to live Off-grid in a Natural Ecosystem

In our everyday life, we are surrounded by contaminated and polluted substances all the time. From the water we drink, the air we breathe in, the land we walk on, and the noise pollution that surrounds us.

There is no peace left in our lives. Seeing the increase in pollution and the decrease in quality of living all of us are moving back towards nature and natural resources. We have failed to realize it earlier and now we are the ones facing its results.

Life in cities nowadays is full of pollution, disturbance, and stress which is why people are reverting back to nature. The air, water, and food quality in India’s major cities are very bad and it comes with serious health impacts. To find peace and be calm people nowadays prefer to buy homes in the exterior of the city.

After realizing the damage we have done to our environment, even though we were aware we did not stop. As a result of which, everyone is now promoting goods and lifestyle that is non-polluting, regenerative, recyclable, and sustainable. What should have been done ages ago is coming into action now.

Revillage is an initiative to bring all these concepts into practice. At Revillage, all the homes are constructed with eco-friendly, non-polluting materials and at the same time use solar panels, gray water recycler, and natural spring water to be self-sustainable.

According to the data on 15th October 2020,

Ahmedabad has 176 PM2.5 that comes under the category of unhealthy air (151 -200 PM2.5) and Delhi has 277 PM2.5 that comes under the category of very unhealthy conditions (201-300). They translate to almost 7 and 12 cigarettes per day respectively.

The above-mentioned measure is based on the concentration of fine particulate matter, or PM2.5, per cubic meter.

In Ahmedabad, everyone may begin to experience health effects while in Delhi the entire population is more likely to be affected. We shouldn’t risk our life due to these population effects. Let’s join hands for a much safer and cleaner environment.
