  Michelle Conlin and her "No Impact" Year

  Michelle Conlin and her husband Colin Beavan (aka No Impact Man) spent a year living "off the grid" in New York City - making as little environmental impact as possible. For Michelle - described as Colin's "espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife" who went along with idea, begrudgingly - that meant no elevators, no television, no cars, busses, or airplanes, no toxic cleaning products, no electricity, no material consumption, and no garbage. Let's all talk about: - What decisions or sacrifices have you made to support your family's larger dreams/goals? - How did you feel about the decisions then and now? - Sharing our tips, tricks and ideas for minimizing our impact on the planet - and how these are working out for us and our families. ___________________________ Be sure to tune in to watch the film, No Impact Man, as it makes its world TV premiere on Planet Green on 8/28 at 10 pm ET!
