Man donates all his possessions to live life of non-ownership

In November 2019, Robin Greenfield, an eco-conscious individual based in Asheville, began living without any personal belongings or money by relinquishing all his possessions.
He began this after realizing that consumerism and ownership harmed the Earth and global communities, which led him to unravel this web and live harmoniously with life on Earth.
Robin embarked on a three-month period of non-ownership, surviving without belongings in Griffith Park and depending on the generosity of others while embracing simple living, mindful presence, and compassionate communication.
Beginning in July 2024, he undertook a 1,600-mile journey of thankfulness, traveling the Pacific coastline from the US-Canada border down to Los Angeles. After seven months on the trail, he reached his endpoint on January 26, 2025, having distributed his remaining possessions and finances to others.
Robin continues to live below the federal poverty threshold with minimal needs, affirming that ownership and money are concepts he can live without while refusing to burden others or the Earth.
