Colin Beavan, the “No Impact Man” captured the national imagination with a year spent without electricity, running water, or creature comforts.
Now, Beavan’s feats have inspired many environmentalists to take week-long carbon cleanses through the nonprofit offshoot of Colin’s efforts, No Impact Project.
Beavan has traveled the country inspiring people to make green changes in their lives. He uses No Impact Week, “an immersive, educational weeklong experiment in low-impact living,” as a tool for building an environmentally conscious and action-oriented community.
