We've told you before about the upcoming documentary No Impact Man, the story of NYC man Colin Beavan, along with his wife and daughter, who attempt to live one year with as little environmental impact as possible - this means no electricity, no cars, no toilet paper, and only locally-grown food, among other things.
A couple of us had the opportunity to attend a free screening and Q&A session with Colin last night at Environmentaland in LA, and believe us - this is not a film you want to miss! Aside from the entertainment factor, it is full of useful information that all of us should be aware of and take action on, if we expect to reverse the adverse effects we've had on the planet thus far.
Here is a 60 second preview:
The film opens nationwide on Sept 11, 2009, and Oscillosocope Laboratories and TreeHugger.com are giving away FREE tickets to openings in many cities. Here's how you can win:
