People in this movement wanted to get away from the noise and pollution of the cities and get back to simpler, natural ways of living. People in the back-to-the-land movement wanted to grow their own food, be closer to nature, and have more freedom to be independent. They wanted to be able to live off the land and have a more sustainable way of life.
