No Impact Man - Colin Bevan


No Impact Man - Colin Bevan (2009)
Colin, and his family decide to spend a year doing less harm to the planet. They live in New York, and give up the takeaways and try to eat locally, trade the taxis for bikes, turn off the tv and the electricity, and he never reveals what he uses instead of toilet paper.
I think in NZ we live with green guilt all the time, we think it funny that people never cook or eat fresh fruit and veg grown locally, surely this is how most people are living nowdays?
Anyway I enjoyed hearing about his journey, and felt he changed a lot of things in his life, and maybe we could all make changes for the better. A good stocking stuffer for Christmas. 3/5
