no impact man: the book
No Impact Man by Colin Beavan was my muse last week at the cottage. This is another book that I just couldn’t put down! It is a guided tour of the year that the author and his family set out to reduce their impact on the planet: Read More
no impact man, the movie
A few weeks ago I came across the trailer for the new documentary by No Impact Man. And I am hooked! I find myself watching the piece over and over again. I need to see this film! I know it’s extreme but I think there are some really good points to be made. Here are my favourite parts of the preview:
- Colin’s wife, Michelle, because she says what most of us are thinking
- the alternate titles for the movie
- getting rid of the tv
This preview makes my heart flutter! So far this movie is scheduled to come to Canada, but when it does, I’m there! You can read more about the No Impact Man documentary here.

What are your earth friendly ideas to keep mosquitoes at bay?
