Colin Beavan -- celebrated green blogger, author, subject of the No Impact Man documentary, T.A. Board member, and all-around good guy -- spent a year living with zero net environmental impact in the heart of Manhattan. His family of three lived without creating trash, using electricity or traveling on anything but a bicycle or scooter. They discovered that living simply was not only better for the environment but also created a much higher quality of living.
His book detailing the journey goes on sale September 1 and a documentary about the project opens in theaters nationwide September 11. For listings go to NoImpactMandoc.com.
If you'd like to try living like Colin and his family, you can. The No Impact Project is challenging people to try and live with no impact for one-week. They'll put participants on a team and guide them through the steps day-by-day. They promise that you'll discover for yourself that less really is more. Sign up at NoImpactProject.org.
