A review by clarkissimo
No Impact Man by Colin Beavan

5.0

In many ways a call to change, not for the world, but for the person. I saw the documentary first at a green movie series and was moved by Colin Beavan's experiment in changing his life by using less, wasting less, and living more fully. The book is wonderfully written--Beavan is a fluid and witty writer--and the No Impact Experiment is a fascinating look at how we live and what we need to do to on an individual basis to help our environment. Reading this book has offered me a glimpse of a life I am now trying harder to pursue, breaking wasteful habits, leaning more heavily on local foods, less consumption, and more time with my family doing things that actually matter.
