It’s certainly not breaking news that we are having an increasingly detrimental impact on our environment – our planet, our home.  We all know how important it is to care for the earth by changing our lifestyles to lessen our impact.  However, finding simple ways to do this can feel overwhelming at times.

The No Impact Project is an international, environmental, nonprofit project designed to do just that: help us make changes which will lower our environmental impact and better our communities through our daily actions.

Following Colin Beavan and his family’s year-long experiment of living a zero-waste lifestyle in New York City, the No Impact Project was created. 

Online, you’ll find a week-long how-to guide to lessen your impact, and create a better environment.  You can work through the ‘how-to manual’ any week, but starting November 15 there’s going to be a focused week-long challenge.  Join with others around the world working to lessen our impact on the world!

Please use the comments section to share with us all how your challenges are going, new ideas you stumble upon, and reflections from a week  (or more?) of living with No Impact.

Individually, we really can affect environmental, political and cultural change.
