Blogs that make me think, two

I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to name another blog in this list this morning (we had a late night – puppy school then a birthday party) but it’s easy: blog number two out of five blogs that make me think is No Impact Man.

This is a newish blog written by Colin Beavan in New York City, and it’s a tale of his and his family’s adventures over a year, as they try:

“to live without making any net impact on the environment. In other words, no trash, no carbon emissions, no toxins in the water, no elevators, no subway, no products in packaging, no plastics, no air conditioning, no TV, no toilets…

“What would it be like to try to live a no impact lifestyle? Is it possible? Could it catch on? Is living this way more fun or less fun? More satisfying or less satisfying? Harder or easier? Is it worthwhile or senseless? Are we all doomed or is there hope? These are the questions at the heart of this whole crazy-assed endeavor.”

The very idea fascinates me.
