In 2006, Colin Beavan became "No Impact Man" by vowing to live for one year in New York City with near-zero impact on the environment. No electricity or fossil fuel transportation. No food grown outside a 250-mile radius. No trash, paper products or new purchases. Beavan wrote about the year-long project in the book No Impact Man: The Adventures of a Guilty Liberal Who Attempts to Save the Planet, and the Discoveries He Makes About Himself and Our Way of Life in the Process (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), which has been translated into 13 languages.
