No Impact Man
March 25, 2007 12:22 AM
This dude from New York is conducting an awesome experiment:
For one year, my wife, my 2-year-old daughter, my dog and I, while living in the middle of New York City, are attempting to live without making any net impact on the environment. In other words, no trash, no carbon emissions, no toxins in the water, no elevators, no subway, no products in packaging, no plastics, no air conditioning, no TV, no toilets.
Colin Beavan, a.k.a. "No Impact Man," has been getting a ton of press recently, and deservedly so! His righteous experiment is being documented on his blog, and he has a ton of links to environmentally sound living. It's an awesome site, with the following as the ultimate goal:
During the course of the year, Michelle, Isabella and I will traverse the range of lifestyles from making a limited number of concessions to the environment to becoming eco-extremists. This means that when we're done, we can reenter the world of normal consumerdom equipped to decide which parts of our no impact lifestyle we're willing to keep and which ones we're not. In other words, in addition to the no impact year, we'll have figured out our way forward.
