Imagine going an entire year without negatively affecting the planet in any way. No coffee, no cars or planes, no magazines, no new clothes or makeup, no bananas or mangos, not even any toilet paper. extreme? yes, but impactful. i think "no impact man" is a misleading title, because although he lives a year without any negative environmental impact, he imparts a huge social impact, if only by inspiring by a rather extreme example. if everyone in the united states could give up just one of the hundreds of things this man and his family gave up for a year, imagine how many trees we'd save. how much water we would keep from being polluted. how many habitats and micro-ecosystems would be preserved. how many tons of carbon would not be released into our ozone. and the list goes on and on and on.
watch his documentary, No Impact Man, on Netflix, or rent it. read his blog. and think about how much of an impact we could have if we did even 1/50th of what Colin Beaven did.
