No Impact Man's year long project was to have no impact to earth. He did many incredible things to have not one impact to earth. During his project, he changed many things about the way a human lives in an every day life. He used no type of transportation. Which means no driving, no trains, no cabs, no flying, anything. Only walking, biking, and/or using a scooter. He also excluded not using any power in the house, using candles for light, and giving away their TV. While being in a building, no matter how far up they had to go, they only used the stairs. When shopping for food, they went to local markets, only getting food that's from the state, and used dirt and worms to help decompose the food better and faster.
With his year long process, many believed that No Impact Man didn't really have any effect to earth's environment, because he is only one man. But still, he at least lowered some level of having a huge impact to our planet. He proved that if you think well enough to save earth, than you can have a positive effect on earth. He also showed that with this project of his, that most of the technology we use today isn't that essential to our lives, no matter how nice it may be. He is one man that is making earth a better place by using good resource and being positive.
Personally, I think what No Impact Man was great. It even showed me that just because there are all these things out there for us to use, we don't have to choose that path. Since we know that most of this stuff is harming the place we live in and we know that there are better ways to do things, that we should act upon that. I also think that if my mother and I tried to follow in his foot steps, we wouldn't survive a week, because we love technology, which made me realize that isn't the best thing. But anyways, I think No Impact Man had a huge Impact to our earth.
