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.

But when his wife Michelle and their two-year-old daughter are dragged into the fray, the No Impact Project has an unforeseen impact of its own. This event is open to the public and free, although donations will be welcome to help cover costs. RSVP at http://www.eventbrite.com/event/480818140.
