No Impact Man

The West Michigan Environmental Council’s goal is to lead environmental protection by inspiring action in the local community.  The effects of climate change and environmental degradation are becoming ever more apparent, but what can one individual do to make real change?

With the final film in our series, No Impact Man, WMEAC hopes to inspire a discussion of what actions one can take to reduce their environmental impact.  Colin Beavan was aware of environmental issues, but realized that he and his family weren’t doing enough to make a difference. He decided to attempt to live, along with his wife, daughter and their dog, an entire year “without making any net impact on the environment“.  Is it possible to live in Manhattan without using electricity, public transportation, TV, and even toilet paper?  This documentary follows Colin and his family as they find out what living a no impact life means and if it’s even possible.

Join us for the end of our series on Wednesday, May 9, at Wealthy Theatre’s Microcinema. Admission is free with a $5 suggested donation.  Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the movie begins at 7 p.m.
