could you live for a year without toilet paper?

"Yesterday I shared ten great eco docs to watch for Earth Day. One that really piques my interest is No Impact Man about eco writer and activist Colin Beavan and his family.

 
I haven’t watched the whole film yet but the trailer has me intrigued! In a nutshell Colin and his family commit to a full year of living without making any impact on the environment – that means no takeout food toilet paper TV electricity…all in the middle of Manhattan! It sounds intense but he and his family seem to have a great sense of humor and the doc looks informative and funny.
 
See what goes down over the Beavans’s no impact year by streaming the whole film on Netflix or you can buy the DVD here. You can also get a bunch of eco-living tips on Colin’s blog like this video reminding us how the "good life" isn't the same as the "goods life" buying lots of stuff that's marketed to us everywhere. I love this and I think it's so important! It's super quick and easy to watch and it's great reminder for Earth Day:
