Tom, I visited MtBest.net - that's really nature at its best! I am also planning seriously to move to Matheran (similar mountain near Mumbai, India where vehicles are not allowed so pollution is nill) after convincing family and arranging communication.
I have similar opposition from family described by rafal, but my method is not to oppose them but try to show them the 'truth' slowly when they are in good 'receptive' mood. It is tough but not impossible. Tom's method of explaining others by way of good questions (asked in a friendly manner) really works. As our viewpoints are quite radical, people will take time digesting them.

It is good to "live what you say". Good examples frequently work better than just words.

Hey Tom, are you starting your own community out in Mt. Best? If so how many people will 'dwell' there?
Antonius
ONE.
