NO IMPACT MAN - COLIN BEAVAN KARTONIERT (TB)

In the growing debate over eco-friendly living  it seems that everything is as bad as
everything else. Do you do more harm by living in the country or the city? Is it better to
drive a thousand miles or take an airplane?In NO IMPACT MAN  Colin Beavan tells the
extraordinary story of his attempt to find some answers - by living for one year in New York
City (with his wife and young daughter) without leaving any net impact on the environment. His
family cut out all driving and flying  used no air conditioning  no television  no toilets. .
.They went from making a few concessions to becoming eco-extremists. The goal? To determine
what works and what doesn't  and to fashion a truly 'eco-effective' way of life.Beavan's
radical experiment makes for an unforgettable and humorous memoir in an attempt to answer
perhaps the most important question of all: What is the sufficient individual effort that it
would take to save the planet? And what is stopping us?
