Welcome to this introduction to the No Impact Man lifestyle experiment which formed the basis of the the No Impact Man book , film and non-profit project . Back in 2007, when I launched this blog, long before the book or the film came out, I wrote a number of posts explaining the No Impact Man year. Those posts are listed below. If you click on them, you will understand the year of environmentally living I undertook with my little family.

A Year Without "Made in China": One Family's True Life Adventure in the Global Economy: Amazon.ca: Sara Bongiorni: Books
From Publishers Weekly Journalist Bongiorni, on a post-Christmas day mired deep in plastic toys and electronics equipment, makes up her mind to live for a year without buying any products made in China, a decision spurred less by notions of idealism or fair trade-though she does note troubling statistics on job loss and trade deficits-than simply "to see if it can be done." In this more personal vein, Bongiorni tells often funny, occasionally humiliating stories centering around her difficulty procuring sneakers, sunglasses, DVD players and toys for two young children and a skeptical husband.100 Mile Diet: Local Eating for Global Change
In 2005, Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon began a one-year experiment in local eating. Their 100-Mile Diet struck a deeper chord than anyone could have predicted, inspiring thousands of individuals, and even whole communities, to change the way they eat. Locally raised and produced food has been called “the new organic" — better tasting, better for the environment, better for local economies, and better for your health. From reviving the family farm to reconnecting with the seasons, the local foods movement is turning good eating into a revolution.
You can now follow us on Twitter or become a fan of the Green Garbage Project on Facebook . Welcome to the official Web site of the 2009-2010 Green Garbage Project. This site will chronicle a year in which a (fairly) typical American married couple endeavors to live for a year without throwing away … well, anything. Impossible, you say? We don’t think so, but we aim to find out. For one year, from July 6, 2009 to July 6, 2010, we aim to live without producing garbage that winds up in a landfill.

Ocilloscope Laboratories /Promo image . The No Impact Man movie poster. Call them New Year's resolutions on steroids: The past few years have seen a variety of people publicly pledge to spend 365 days living a more environmentally friendly life, whether by eating locally, eschewing plastic, making one small change a day, or giving up money altogether. Often snapped up eagerly by the media, such initiatives have also been criticized as attention-seeking green stunts that don't make a difference. And while it's true that going a year without toilet paper won't stop global warming, it will get a lot of people talking about environmental issues -- and that just might bring about the change we need.
