How is it ironic? The point isn't to be anti-technology. They have wi-fi and some share vehicles. Enjoy your heavy metal ingestion.

It's easy to be "sustainable" when someone else builds your wifi routers and pickup trucks.

Stupid as shit.

My ancestors were doing the same thing 180-220 years ago. They used zero electricity, zero fossil fuels. Not only were they making shoes, they made guns and furniture too! And their buildings were more aesthetically pleasing.

They organized themselves around the church (theocracy) instead of some fuzzy hippie ideas about ecological impact.

Hippies make me chuckle.

I would only live in an Eco-fishing village if they were environmentally responsible enough to use every part of the dolphin, not just the flesh.
