This a great story - I hope you take the time to give it a read.
I know we can evolve beyond the need for money - and even evolve our way of life (without money) to also keep or include some of the other good stuff (ie free energy, natural medicine, etc) - and the odd pint of organic ale!

Susan, I think he has found abundance - just in a different form.
I'm not sure if you are saying "more stuff = more happiness"? If you are that's fine, you are entitled to your own opinion - however, I tend to think this does not necessarily lead to love, happiness and fulfillment - these IMO are conditions of the soul which do not rely on having "more stuff".
Having said that, as I said above, I think it is still possible to live a more back-to-nature style of life and still have access to more knowledge and useful non-destructive or non-polluting things through the availability of free energy and the use of natural medicines.
The current purchase/consume style structure we have now that is driven by money is bound to fail - is totally destructive - and is definitely not creating paradise her on Earth - and IMO must go! Why would anyone want more of those things!
Yes it can be Cheryl. If more people would live similar to the life styles of the Amish, (getting back to nature and growing one's own food etc etc) big greedy evil corporations would bite the dust. However too many people are still caught up in materialism and money. This type of a life style could be transitioned into easily if all were for it. Greed, evil and materialism is the biggest road block.
It can be done. I've seen stories of others who have done it. It takes courage and self-sufficiency.
I've said before, we the people can tame the destructive corporations by not buying their products. Less money = less power.
He is lucky he was able to find an organic farm he volunteered for that let him park his trailer there for free.
