I have to do something for Earth every day.


I'm Michael Mobbs, the 'off-grid guy'
- see my house in this 2 minute video -  
Sydney's Sustainable House. *


I'll help you go off-grid, or partly off-grid, too.

We can all live a sustainable life. 

Cut your bills, reduce your pollution and get healthy with local food you grow or buy.

Since 1996, I have had energy and water bills of less than $300 per year - the house has been disconnected from mains water and sewer since 1996. In March 2015, I disconnected my house from the poles and wires of the main electricity grid, and since then solar panels and batteries have powered the house.

See note above under-performing batteries and installers, and solutions here.*

You can live partly or fully off-grid, too.

You don't have to go all off-grid - choose what works for you, in your own time, in your own place.

Michael Mobbs is a gardener, environmentalist and lawyer.

For gardening, composting, coaching and consulting, contact Michael.


I'll work with you as a Sustainability Coach to choose options for going off-grid or partly off-grid. 

Use my blog to find and follow off-grid and partly off-grid projects.

*  Data is key for Most projects. FOr solar - I get real time data from my solar projects to know whether they're producing the promised amount of power; so should we all.
