Graham Hill, founder of Treehugger.com, is participating in No Impact week, starting October 18, and he wrote on the Huffington Post:
Instead of edicts - depriving you of your car or forbidding drinking your latte from a paper cup - the No-Impact week brought to you by Colin Beavan and Huff Po is instead the opportunity to try out lifestyle strategies that just may be more fun than you thought.
With the shape of the earth and our complex society, we need lots of people coming up with lots of approaches.
I look at No-Impact week as carbon-cleansing experiment in which I get to see which of my lifestyle choices actually contribute to my happiness.
He's right of course! So join in!
Meanwhile, we'll be having online video conversations every night of the week starting on Sunday at 5 PM EST, so tune in below. Sunday's chat will be with Wood Turner of Climate's Count on the topic of consumption and Monday's (at 9PM EST) will be with Bill McKibben of 350 and Betsy Taylor of 1Sky on the topic of trash.
Hope to see you there.
Colin Beavan (that's me!) is now leading a conversation about finding a happy, helpful life at Colinbeavan.com. If you want to know how people are breaking out and and finding authentic, meaningful lives that help our world, check it out the blog here and sign up to join the conversation here.
