No Impact Man

No Impact Man is a project by Colin Beavan, who aimed to live sustainably in New York City with little to no environmental impact for a year. He reduced waste, limited energy use, and avoided fossil fuels, all while documenting the experience. The goal was to demonstrate that individuals can make meaningful changes in their lives to help the environment, even in urban settings. His efforts highlight practical ways to reduce one’s carbon footprint and promote awareness about sustainability and environmental responsibility.
