Urban Renewal

Not willing to wait for politicians and CEO's to fix our environmental woes, and tired of feeling guilty, Colin Beavan and his family decided a year ago to drastically change their urban lifestyle in NYC. Their goal -- to leave no net negative impact on the environment. It hasn't been an easy task, but it has been largely successful, and inspiring. They've been chronicling their fascinating story at their blog, No Impact Man.
