347: No Impact Man - Save the Planet with Colin Beavan

Environmental activist, Colin Beavan, and his family decided to make a bold statement: they'd spend an entire year living as close to "zero impact" as possible in the heart of New York City. They'd ditch subways and taxis, food that came from further than 100 miles away, and TV. In the end, they'd gain a new perspective on life.

  • How the average American creates 1600 lbs of trash each year
  • How Colin and his wife and daughter went "zero impact" for a full year in NYC
  • What it means to redefine life without all the consumerism
  • How to truly be alive
