No Impact Man

We watched No Impact Man last night. The documentary follows Colin Beavan, his wife Michelle Conlin and their daughter Isabella through a year in which they change their lifestyle as much as possible to reduce their carbon footprint. One could certainly find flaws in these folks, but overall, I thought the experiment was interesting and admirable. Doesn't make me want to stop using electricity or toilet paper, but does reinforce my feeling that I should be doing more. Putting out the recycling every Friday (in a large plastic bag, no less) is not the most I can do.
