Food & Water Watch does an excellent job of keeping tabs on the food safety issues I care about. It would be a full-time job to stay updated myself. Their petitions are simple, to the point, and easy to share.

No Impact Man

No Impact Man

“A guilty liberal finally snaps, swears off plastic, goes organic, becomes a bicycle nut, turns off his power, and generally becomes a tree-hugging lunatic who tries to save the polar bears and the rest of the planet from environmental catastrophe while dragging his baby daughter and Prada-wearing, Four Seasons,loving wife along for the ride. And that‚ just the beginning. Bill McKibben meets Bill Bryson in this seriously engaging look at one man‚ decision to put his money where his mouth is and go off the grid for one year –while still living in New York City– to see if it‚ possible to make no net impact on the environment.”

The Movie

“Terrifically entertaining. Compelling and extremely funny. “ – Betsy Sharkey, LA Times

‚Proof that “eco” and “entertainment” aren’t mutually exclusive.”

- John Anderson, Variety

The Book

“The No Impact Experiment changed Colin Beavan and reading No Impact Man will change you.” – Annie Leonard

“Beavan captures his own shortcomings with candor and wit and offers surprising revelations . . .” -Publishers Weekly

The Project

“Colin did it for a year — now it’s your turn! The No Impact Project (the new No Impact Man nonprofit) is challenging you to try and live no impact for one week. We’ll put you on a team and guide you through the steps day-by-day. We guarantee you’ll discover for yourself that less IS more.” Learn more.
