Reaching Out

No Impact Man- http://noimpactman.typepad.com/
Colin Beavan had enough. He decided that he was tired of waiting for the government to make the change for a better environment, and he took it upon himself to start an experiment in Manhattan where he would do everything he could to prevent himself from impacting the environment. His family, Wife, 2-year-old daughter, dog, and him all would go on a year long journey of a no impact life. They successfully found alternative ways to do household chores, transportation, work, and even entertainment done with less of an impact than the average family.
