So I recently got finished watching “No Impact Man” and basically the movie gave me a serious wake up call on a lot of topics that I have always had a level of interest and concern for, but never really ponyed up and did much about it (mostly out of lazy habit). No I’m not talking about finances or fitness or even general ass kickery, I’m talking about your environmental impact on society.
It’s the stats of the film that drove me to take action. The fact that each person goes through 2600 pounds of trash per year, and that a single piece of non local food can represent hundreds of dollars in eco waste.
I love the idea of making the world a better place, and its important that not destroying the planet play a part in our personal endeavors to improve our lives.
Now do you have to go 6 months without electricity, stop using anything disposable, and put your s&^* in a compost bin? No, but the idea of the film is reducing your carbon footprint in whatever way is possible for you.
This means you turn off the lights and turn on the candles
Don’t live with your face buried in front a screen
Stop using bleach and start using healthier cleaners
Stop buying more shit you don’t need
Think about where your food comes from, especially if its in a box
Anything you can do to make less of an impact is a step in the right direction, and it will feel damn good to do something for the environment
So without going Greenpeace all over you, take some action and see what happens. Like the movie states, its not about one person being able to change the world, but about a group of people doing the right thing and starting the eco-revolution.
Cheers to saving the world
Gabriel
