How did an author of history novels go from writing about past events to MAKING history? We'll find out from Colin Beavan, aka No Impact Man, who spent a year - along with his small family - sharply reducing their ecological impact to near zero. What prompted such a radical undertaking and how did a journey so many expected to be futile turn out to be fulfilling? Colin's mission was to learn how to reduce waste of materials but learned how to not waste precious moments. He'll tell us how his family's quest to reduce garbage helped them discover an abundance of gratitude.
