No Impact Man: A Screening At Casa de Luz, Friday Dec. 18th

No Impact Man
Friday December 18th
7:00 - 9:00 pm
Cielo Room North

Join us for a screening of No Impact Man, a documentary about a family’s journey to lessen their environmental impact, followed by a discussion about ways we can lighten our impact during the holiday season and beyond.  This event is free, but donations to help us cover the cost of bringing the film to Austin are appreciated. 

No Impact Man, an Oscilloscope film, tells the story of Colin Beavan’s decision to completely eliminate his personal impact on the environment for a full year. It means eating vegetarian, buying only local food, and turning off the refrigerator. It also means no elevators, no television, no cars, busses, or airplanes, no toxic cleaning products, no electricity, no material consumption, and no garbage. No problem – at least for Colin – but he and his family live in Manhattan. So when his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife Michelle and their two-year-old daughter are dragged into the fray, the No Impact Project has an unforeseen impact of its own.
