The film, “No Impact Man”, chronicled part of the research for a book that author Colin Beavan was writing about making as little environmental impact on the planet as possible. For one year, Beavan decided to swear off plastic and toxins, turned off his electricity, went organic, became a bicycle nut, and tried to save the earth from environmental catastrophe while dragging his young daughter and his Prada-wearing wife, Michelle, along for the ride. Together, they attempted to make zero impact on the environment while living in the heart of New York City. This is the sensational, funny, and consciousness-raising story of how they did it. “No Impact Man” provides a front-row seat into the experiment that became a national fascination and media sensation, and a behind-the-scenes look at the marital challenges that result from Colin and Michelle’s radical lifestyle change.”
