I may have scoffed at the idea of living no impact when I first heard about Colin Beavan's experiment. A ploy for a book; a passing fancy; a yawn because this guy is going to now be all superior about consuming less than everyone else. But, as I came to read the No Impact Man blog and heard him speak, I found him to not be a self-righteous environmentalist, but a sincere individual who wanted to try living no impact for a year for a book and found it to be incredibly fulfilling and positive lifestyle change. Every time I read something, my heart gets kind of warm and fuzzy, and I think, man, I wish I could live no-impact. And then sigh, and continue to forget to bring my canvas bag to the grocery store.
And so, when I heard about the No Impact Experiment, I decided that I could commit to living this lifestyle that I so admired for a week, to evaluate my own consumption patterns, and to see if I could live just a little bit kinder to the earth and my community. I'm excited! It starts on Sunday, so if you are interested, go here. And join me! I'll keep you posted on how it goes for me on the blog.

Hey, Suvi! So this has nothing to do with this post at all, but I don't know how else to get in touch with you.
But it suddenly hit me today that you and a friend of mine really should go on a date, and THEN, double bonus, I found out that he lives in New York (not Texas, which is where he'd last been), so I'm assuming this is simply meant to be.
Anyway, email me at alannachan@gmail.com, if you think you might be interested!
(And if you want to delete this comment since it's completely irrelevant to your blog AND has my email address for all the world to see, I wouldn't mind that at all. Hope to hear from you soon!)
