There are some good ideals behind this, but some obvious ironies. Most obvious is the fact that both Mark Boyle and Heidemarie Schwermer require money, just not their own. Boyle needs money to start, and Schwermer accepts charity.
I understand their thought process that money leads people away from "what's important", even though that statement itself is too vague for my tastes. For me, it is more manageable to live frugally than off the grid. That and 95% of the people who would get involved with an off-the-grid society would be incessantly pontificating blowhards that would drive me fucking nuts.
