Afternoon Book Discussion for Adults

"No Impact Man" by Colin Beavan

Kirkendall Public Library and the DMACC campuses are collaborating on a year-long project to enhance community understanding of the environment through book discussions and programs.  Multiple copies of the book are available to groups wanting to participate in the dialog.

"No Impact Man: the Adventures of a Guilty Liberal who Attempts to Save the Planet and the Discoveries He Makes About Himself and Our Way of Life in the Process."  What does it really take to live eco-effectively? For one year, Colin Beavan swore off plastic and toxins, turned off his electricity, went organic, became a bicycle nut, and tried to save the planet from environmental catastrophe while dragging his young daughter and his Prada-wearing wife along for the ride. Together they attempted to make zero impact on the environment while living right in the heart of Manhattan, and this is the sensational, funny, and consciousness-raising story of how they did it. With No Impact Man, Beavan found that no-impact living is worthwhile--and richer, fuller, and more satisfying in the bargain.

Books available at the library.  Everyone welcome!
