No Impact Man

Recently saw the documentary on No Impact Man.  It was great!  I use to follow his blog when he first started the whole project.  It was where I first learned about getting composting worms.  Anyway, it was a great motivator on making me want to be more conscious in my everyday acts/decisions. 

 

Everyone should watch it!

Re: No Impact Man

  • Suicide is the only way to have no impact.

     

    Enjoy.

     

  • it wasn't quite what i thought it was going to be but i enjoyed it.  i'm surprised his wife went along so willing with everything, even though it was his project.
  • I know!  If my husband did that I could not go with the no electricity thing or no TP thing, ever. Some other things I would be fine with, but not those.

  • I just watched it about a week ago and it was very eye opening. I envy them for being able to ride their bikes everywhere. It was great to see how you can do without and still do just fine.
  • I agree that it was a dramatic turn from the way we normally live life, but they did so in a bit of transition (there were parts where I wasn't sure if he had started the project yet)

    I LOVED when he was explaining "no impact" to his little daughter! She seemed to understand it better than his wife LOL

  • I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it, but I really liked it.  I thought his wife was a really good balance to some of his extremes.  
  • I just watched it this weekend.

    I thought it was a little depressing.  Whenever he and his wife were discussing stuff, it just seemed sad.  I don't know.  Doing the laundry in the bathtub looked fun and exposing his daughter to their adventures looked fun (farm, city garden).  I know it was super extreme, but it was sort of sad to me. 

    But on the other hand, it did get me excited for my farmer's market to open in a few weeks!
