The No Money Man - Mark Boyle 

We might

We were ment to... we live this modern way for only a few decades now

sad but true

i do it it is ridiculous how much food is thrown away i can fill the entire back of a pickup full in one or two dumpsters

Skye ID It's true only for some businesses, I live in Tulsa oklahoma and I know lots of businesses that give away the extra food to who ever will come pick it up, like donut shops etc, many will leave the extras in closed boxes and set it on top of the dumpster so anyone can grab it and it doesn't get contaminated by the actual trash, and when I lived back in Missouri, Panera bread used to give away all the bread that wasn't sold each day.

Not sure what the precise numbers are I've read that 40% of produce goes to waste

+ru1111111 sell?? Who sold it to them? The dumpster?

Yes we should be grateful for what we have in life

@@ALI_FA17 I definitely need money to be happy.

Nothing in this life is perfect.

@@Alex-uo4qq I loved Your reply.

Mark in his TedTalk did say we humans are dependent either on the earth and other humans.

He does actually address this really thoroughly in his Moneyless Manifesto book. As of 2019 he is truly off grid, he is totally sincere in his mission. I think this stage of his journey is important in learning how wasteful the current system is, that a person can live off it for over a year without spending any money. That's a radical observation.

Me, me, me--- :>(

That 1 step away..

Me! I am soooooooo poor. :(

I'm not away... I'm going to live like this... Go off grid make a hut near river Grow my own food Live with pet and partner

+Glenda relli so as long as your spirit is elevated whilst you work as (hmm thinking of a job similar to being a nazi...) how about you are an arms dealer and are knowingly selling to your weapons to those that will happily kill young and old alike as long as your spirit is elevated.... yeah i see a flaw in that fairy tale. i think you get my point.

+Turk aka AuralVirus I agree, there are some jobs that I could not spend my Energy on...Truth! One must live their own truth. As for myself, I am vegan...it is my choice to do no harm to any being [if I can at all help it] yet I can only live MY TRUTH. My truth may not be someone else truth...I do not live a fairly tale, only My Truth.

Glenda relli you really would be wise to change the word "truth" to "perception" because that is what it is. Using the word "Truth" is making a claim of it being more than it actually is, a righteous, pedestal like state (verging on sounding pompous, pretentious even) that is arguable and ultimately disprovable through debate where as perception is subjective, personal to you and undeniable.

+Turk aka AuralVirus ....now wait a minute, I have every right to speak and live "MY TRUTH"....my truth is my truth...I Am not projecting it onto anyone. I have a right to live my authentic Self! We are as the ocean...one ocean with many expressions...[waves, rain, snow, humidity, etc....] I also keep in mind that I must be flexible, with life comes expansion, so as life [experiences] evolves I am OPEN to change, as water I flow... As for today, I will live my authentic life.... I subscribe to non-judgement, no one likes to be told what-to-do...live and let live. I live by INTEGRITY, careful not sow something I do not want to reap later [that will take care of those that bomb children & the innocent]. Karma...nuff said. Peace & Love.

Glenda relli yeah I kind of agree with you but the way you word it sounds so fake and pretentious. maybe lay off the weed?

The amount of waste in the world is disgusting indeed.

***** I worked at a Somerfield in Wolverhampton haha.

Shakeys near my home use to throw out good food until I wrote a letter to their corporate office. Now they place the food in to go boxes so that the homeless can come and take it. :)

@@hourglas39 Awesome!

@@hourglas39 bless you

Very true too

Why are you so desperate anyways? I hope you're ok. 😀

Sure, best way is Facebook, facebook.com/AllOne1111 I live in a camper, mostly I've been living on people's land, trading labor and other things instead of rent. for over 20 years, I've only had clothing that is given to me, by friends throwing things away, or "Free piles". I only eat what I am offered, or need to eat, "Opportun-avore". It's only been about 5 years almost completely moneyless, when I gave up dragging my camper around, and driving. I just really stop and think about whether or not I actually need something, or if I just want it. You are correct, most things people think they need, they really only want. {Like electricity, running water, haircuts, phones, candy... haha I heat with wood, which is free if you are willing to work. The thing is, living free takes a lot of time, either making clothes or repairing used, chop wood, carry water, finding things, and labor in trade. For a few years I traveled with just my tent, while my camper has set put in Vermont... Sometimes, I live with friends, trading work for rent, food, clothes, rides. I've actually managed to travel quite a bit, even made it to Israel last winter! People send plane tickets when they want to see my badly enough. Usually, I get the last of someone's shampoo, or the kind they bought and didn't like, the bottom of their toothpaste, table scraps. Internet is free, and internet phone service does me just fine. Right now I am so fortunate, I am living on my sister's land, trading with her for what little electric I use {computer and a light bulb} the internet wi-fi reaches where I am parked on her land... I eat the leftovers they used to give to the dogs... forage, now, everyone's gardens are coming in, being a vegetarian, I'm living it up. I make most of the things I need, I used to be a construction contractor, so I am pretty handy. Barter is better I've found. I do get money on occasion, either an odd job, or I'm pretty good at finding it on the ground too! I think, this last year, I made about $500. It's key to stay healthy, to barter work, and to keep from needing medical expenses. When the fruits and berries are in season, I get right on it! LOL It's amazing how much food is growing out in the yard or woods. I look forward to talking more! I'd love to hear your stories!

I hate you...I work JK

Lia Mari Wow!!! I absolutely love the idea of living like that!...I want to buy a patch of land and set up my own commune...I am going to do it...I don't want to sit there wishing for it all my life, its something i need to do...I don't belong in this society...I need to find out about more like minded people, not people who are gunna tell me 'live in the real world, you need to get a job, that i 'CANT live without monney' and just negative people...Also, can i add you on facebook please? :)

Sure yes, Funny thing, my situation has changed, Sometimes I work for money nowaday, Seldom, but sometimes, because I'm working to build an intentional community. Send a note when u get to FB, if you want to hear about it, maybe I can give u ideas for finding and founding yours. facebook.com/allone1111

How do u do it I am in Canada but tryed just cant do it but want to cause money is not the way tell me share pls

I should have said MAY THE HEAVENLY FATHER B WITH U ALWAYS, PEACE & BLESSINGS

sam barnum iv God know what to do. Dont worry about it.

+katie dugan that guy is not lucky. practically every supermarket you come across has tons of totally fine food laying in the trash bins. google "containering". you'll wonder ...

The last I heard he was going to put them towards purchasing land to potentially start an eco-community where they can skill share and live off the land. He mentioned that purchasing the land wasn't the most ideal option but the only way to be left alone and be free to live how they choose.

Yeah they'd definitely have to grow some food, don't know how they'd manage to in winter. Perhaps sealed jars of food conserves from food cooked in summer, with flour and rice unaffected by seasons.

Wrong. If more people lived like him and less people were in the factories then it would be EASIER to survive without money. There would be more land to hunt on, more fish to fish. There wouldn't be as many restrictions. As is now, he probably has to scavenge for food because he is legally unable to hunt.

Evan Brown Only if more people lived vegan as well. Land on the earth is limited as such - especially fertile land. We could only live of it if almost no meat was consumed anymore. Otherwise it wouldn't be enough and instead of stepping on anothers toes hunting wild pigs, we would probably very quickly start keeping and feeding house pigs again. And, Evan, only very few people actually work "in factories" nowadays in Europe. Those who work in an area that does not have an immediate outcome/product that can be changed towards other goods or food (such as teachers, doctors, translators) need to eat and live somewhere as well. Hence, after the abolishon of money, we would probably very quickly come up with some exchange currency/tool for such services again. And .... whhhush.... money would be back in the game, just with a different name.

SalomeSchmidt By factories I was mostly generalizing and meant any modern day job, but I see what you are saying. Our population is too high for us all to live as simply as I wish that we could live. But I think we are at a point in our self-awareness as humans to do something different, especially with our technology. I think that we could feed the world and satisfy every other needs that we have as humans without money or inequality. We have the technology to do so, just not the right motive. Borders, money, politics, etc are restricting us from thriving and helping the earth thrive too.

SalomeSchmidt we can feed people using Permaculture methods. We can't using traditional farming methods. Chickens and rabbits eat grass. Their waste is important fertilizers for the soil web. We can't raise cows on corn. They don't even do well on corn. They need grasss. Read up on Permaculture. Lawns need to go, they should be growing food.

Chickens don't eat grass! They do eat snails though, which is great when you grow your own vegetables.

+dojistar whats your point? he's living without money, nothing more nothing less, where and more to the point how is it even possible to be hypocritical to that ethos? he's not saying he rejects modern living just that there's waste and he can live off that waste proving the excess & frivolity of modern society .

+Deona Eddy No Deona, the point of many involved in the movement is that rather than tossing it in the bin, we should be sending it on to pantries, soup kitchens, etc. or selling it at discounts, just as we should be with "ugly" food. The expiration date system is extremely faulty and leading to excessive food waste. There was a good TED talk on it by Tristam Stuart that really clarified the issue of food waste in most developed countries. One of my students sent it to me when she was doing a speech on minimalism, and it was somewhat shocking.

false society Wtf r u talking about ?!

Your hero? How sad life you have... shame on you!
