No Impact Man

I want to inspire you with this fascinating document "No Impact Man". We follow Colin Beavan who lives in New York city when he tries for one year to dramatically reduce his impact on the environment. He doesn't consume any plastic nor electricity, travels only with his bike and composts his waste in his living room (with worms!). He involves his wife and daughter so to be fair it is more of a No Impact Family!

Just to give an idea - the family managed to save 1248 plastic take out and containers, 572 plastic bags and 2190 paper and plastic cups (read more here) This makes me think of how much rubbish we actually consume and don't really need!

Follow this family's struggles and joys to become more sustainable HERE(for free!)
