No Impact Man

http://www.noimpactdoc.com/trailer.php No Impact Man is a funny, inspiring film about Colin Beavan, a liberal schlub who got tired of listening to himself complain about the world without ever actually doing anything about it.  In November, 2006, Beavan launched a year-long project in which he, his wife, his two-year-old daughter and his four-year-old dog went off the grid and attempted to live in the middle of New York City with as little environmental impact as possible.  The No Impact project has been a successful and entertaining blog and is now a film too.  Recently released on DVD, No Impact Man follows Colin and his family (his wife is one of the film’s producers) on their journey to get and stay off the grid in New York City without killing each other.  Can you imagine never taking an elevator, washing your clothes in the bathtub, and not owning a phone?  Yeah.  Crazy stuff.  This film made us laugh, made us feel frustrated, and reminded us of so many more small ways we can make a difference each day.  Check it out!  We think you’ll love this movie.
