An economics graduate is about to begin a year-long mission to live without money.
Mark Boyle, 29, plans to put his potatoes where his mouth is and become the ultimate 'freeconomist' by ditching cash for 12 months.
He intends to live completely off the land and waste products he scrounges around his borrowed caravan at Timsbury, near Bath, UK.
And he'll even use his very own composting toilet for good measure.
"I've been preparing a lot over the last couple of months, but the challenge will be the things I can't plan for - a broken arm, exhaustion or the worst case scenario, a family bereavement," he said.
"I suspect the most difficult thing will be socialising in a world that revolves around money. I'll be living on a day-to-day basis, hand to mouth, which means I'll never really know where my next meal comes from."
Mark plans to scour skips and other people's rubbish to find what he needs. He'll also make use of a scheme called Freecycle, a network of recycling enthusiasts; and Freeconomy which allows people to swap skills.
Why the hell would he want to do that?? To prove he can survive the crisis? There are many people in the world that would love to switch positions withhim

Yes we live in the Garbage Age.. its full with plastic bags. i think they should ban plastic bags.
Barter system is still prevailing at many levels. It is possible in under developed and rural areas where there is no much requirement for currency.
Currency is just a standard for a country it is does not mean that it has utility. It is used for exchange of services/goods as standard.
I think, its good idea to make people feel that money is not everything neither it can be only way of doing any services or exchange. But on the otherhand, to live such life is difficult/a little foolish

Everybody has its own goals. let live!!!
That's the kind of thing I would have liked to have done when I was slightly younger, although I dounbt I would have been able to complete a whole year of that kind of lifestyle.
