A while back I read a New York Times article about Colin Beavan and his family. They were living in Manhattan and Colin had decided they’d go a year without making any impact on the environment. By the time the New York Times had caught up with the Beavans, they were already living without electricity or toilet paper. The impression I got from the article was that this project was just another wacky experiment by another wacky environmentalist (Colin). Having spent time with the Beavan family through the documentary No Impact Man, I think the New York Times got it all wrong.
