Can we return to the primitive? Could you leave civilization and survive? Are we permanently plugged in? Inspired by Thoreau and nature, a young Miles Olson departed for a remote island. He explains his regrets and wins. Along the way, we discover something about our inner selves, in this hyper-modern age. You'll hear Sri-Lankan-American author Asoka Banadarage's solutions for collapse. Then, a conversation with one of America's best known organic growers, Barbara Damrosch of Four Season Farm in Harborside, Maine. Produced by Alex Smith for Radio Ecoshock.
