No Impact Man

[Melalvai]

You or I might bike around for fitness or fun or transportation, or make other "green" choices in our lives for whatever reason, but we're not doing it with a film crew following us around! That was something he never addressed--his family was trying to live with no impact at all for a year, but they were doing it with a film crew and with the intention at the start to turn it into a movie, a book, and who knows what beyond that? It would be interesting to see if the ultimate impact from their experiment (trees cut down to publish the book, the energy used to produce the book, the movie, the audiobook, etc.) was actually higher than the impact that three people would have living their daily lives with none of the changes they made.

He mentioned it in the book, that there was the irony of all this tree saving becoming a book. That's why part of the plan was to give back by volunteering, to offset the environmental impact they couldn't cut out.

So maybe he already offset my toxic AA battery use.

But if they are rechargeable batteries- then you don't have to feel too bad.


I don't have a netflix account and I tried to find it to watch. No luck. I'll keep searching.
