AUTHOR Colin Beavan, in research for his next book, began the No Impact Project in November 2006.
A newly self-proclaimed environmentalist who could no longer avoid pointing the finger at himself, Colin leaves behind his liberal complacency with a vow to make as little environmental impact as possible for one year. No more automated transportation, no more electricity, no more non-local food, no more material consumption...no problem.
That is, until his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife Michelle and their two-year-old daughter are dragged into the fray.
Laura Gabbert and Justin Schein’s film provides a front row seat into the experiment that became a national fascination and media sensation.
No Impact Man is showing at Everyman cinema in Winchester on Tuesday night.
Tickets: 0871 906 9060 or everyman cinema.com
