    Definition of Off-Grid Living Off-grid living is a lifestyle in which individuals or communities rely on their own resources to meet their energy, water, food, and shelter needs, rather than depending on public utilities and services. The term "off-grid" refers to the absence of a connection to the electrical grid, but the concept extends to all aspects of life that can be self-sustaining 
    The appeal of off-grid living stems from several factors. For some, it is a desire for independence and self-reliance, a longing for a simpler and more sustainable way of life, and a conscious effort to reduce their impact on the environment. For others, it may be a financial decision, as the cost of connecting to public utilities can be high in remote areas. Whatever the motivation, off-grid living requires a significant investment of time, effort, and resources, but can offer many benefits 
    Off-grid living involves the use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and biofuels, to generate electricity. These systems can be designed to meet the specific needs of the household or community, and are often combined with energy storage systems such as batteries or pumped hydro storage. By relying on renewable energy sources, off-grid living can help reduce greenhouse gas 2 emissions and environmental degradation associated with fossil fuel based energy systems

    ABOUT THE FILM 
    "Reservoir Dogs" is a 1992 crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The story follows a group of criminals who are brought together to carry out a diamond heist, only for the plan to go horribly wrong. After the botched job, the gang members, who know each other only by color-coded aliases, begin to suspect that one of them is an undercover cop. The film focuses on themes of loyalty, betrayal, and violence, featuring sharp dialogue, non-linear storytelling, and intense character development. Tarantino’s unique style combines humor with brutal action, creating a tense and gripping atmosphere. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The film's budget was so low that many of the actors were asked to bring their own clothing. For example, Chris Penn wore his own track jacket, while Steve Buscemi wore black jeans instead of suit pants. Michael Madsen wore a jacket and pants from two different suits.” 
      
    “Madonna, who is referenced in the opening conversation of the film, liked the movie but disagreed with Quentin Tarantino's interpretation of her song "Like a Virgin". She gave him a signed copy of her album "Erotica" with the note: "To Quentin. It's not about dick, it's about love." 
      
    “Due to budget constraints, the production couldn't afford police assistance for traffic control. In one scene, Steve Buscemi hijacks a woman's car, but the scene could only be filmed when the traffic lights were green.”

    ‘I’ve a body out the back for you...’  
     
    Imagine having that sentence said to you. And then imagine it actually being pertinent. Welcome to Evie King’s world. 
     
    What happens if you die without family or money? The answer to this very three-in-the-morning question is that Evie, or someone like her, will step in and arrange your funeral. 
     
    Evie is a local council worker charged with carrying out Section 46 funerals under the Public Health Act. Or to put it in less cold, legislative language; funerals for those with nobody around, willing or able to bury or cremate them. 
     
    Ashes to Admin lifts the coffin lid on some moving and unexpected personal life stories. Sometimes tragic, as with the case of an unidentified woman found on a beach buried without even a name, but often uplifting and occasionally hilarious. 
     
    Ultimately, Evie discovers that her job is more about life than it is about death, funerals being for the living and death being merely a trigger to rediscover a life and celebrate it against the odds. 
     
    This audiobook also includes the special bonus content: ‘A Blustery Conversation with Evie King & Stewart Lee.’
