No Impact Man

The Ecofilm on Friday, December 31st will be No Impact Man.

Genre: Documentary, Director: Laura Gabbert & Justin Schein, 2009, 92 Minutes, English

Life in the city is not easy and does not get much easier when you decide to try and make as little environmental impact as possible. The Beavan family did this for one year. The film follows the two Beavan parents and their child as they do everything they can to consume as little as possible, make as little trash as possible and to try and not use any excess energy. This is an inspiring story that is watchable by the whole family and a good way to bring in the New Year.
