You could always emulate one friend from high school. He lives in a houseboat with power from solar panels/batteries for his limited uses. There is no WiFi, no computers or other electronic gadgets, his refrigerator is run from a propane bottle. He visits town once a week to do his grocery and other shopping. In case of emergency, someone has to visit him to deliver the message. He does have an enviable collection of physical books and will borrow library books while in town.
Not a lifestyle I could emulate but he seems happy enough and has about as minimal a footprint as can be maintained in today's world.
