No Impact Man by Colin Beavan

I have just finished reading No Impact Man, by Colin Beavan, and it is just the push in the right direction that I needed for my own 'live a better life' project, Goodbye Magpie.

The book documents how Colin and his family spent a year trying to live their lives whilst creating no harmful impact on the planet.  The approach they take is extreme, but very inspirational, and it goes to show how little of the over-packaged, resource intensive stuff we actually need.


The book is honest and so well written that I raced through it in a couple of sittings.  I have since watched the accompanying documentary and signed up to Beavan's blog at http://noimpactman.typepad.com/ 

I would highly recommend that you all do the same!  I have come away with so many helpful pieces of advice that I plan to put into practise over the coming weeks.  So keep reading to see how I get on.

Thanks No Impact Man; you have saved another family from self destruction!
