No Impact Week - Changing Your Lifestyle Strategies

In case you've missed the recent media coverage, No Impact Week will begin on Sunday, October 18th. What is it you ask?

Mission (via NoImpactProject.org)

To empower citizens to make choices which better their lives and lower their environmental impact through lifestyle change, community action, and participation in environmental politics.
The No Impact Project was conceived by Colin Beavan, aka No Impact Man, following the success of his blog, book, and film, which chronicle his family’s year-long experiment living a zero-waste lifestyle in New York City. Central to his thesis is the notion that deep-seated individual behavior change leads to both cultural change and political engagement. Living low-impact provides a clear entry point into the environmental movement. This thesis is the bedrock of the No Impact Project.


Regardless of your current shade of green, the No Impact Project week can be a great place to start living a lifestyle that is low-impact. You can also download the No Impact Experiment manual free at the website.
