Coming to Theatres on September 4, 2009

Starring: Colin Beavan, Michelle Conlin

Author Colin Beavan, in research for his new book, began the No Impact Project in November 2006. A newly self-proclaimed environmentalist who could no longer avoid pointing the finger at himself, Colin leaves behind his complacency for a vow to make as little environmental impact as possible for one year. No more automated transportation, no more electricity, no more non-local food, no more material consumption no problem. That is, until his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife Michelle and their two year-old daughter are dragged into the fray. Laura Gabbert and Justin Scheins film provides a front row seat into the familial strains and strengthened bonds that result from Colins and Michelles struggle with this radical lifestyle change.

1. This is so refreshing. But could I live a life of no impact? It would
be a "cold turkey" experience,and it would take a big commitment.

I will consciously cut down on my energy consumption.:think:

2. Life has an impact. Just living... You can't get away from that.
