Imagine waking up in the morning, not having a coffee, not switching on the lights , not using loo paper and walking to work. And once back from work there is no television (or electricity for that matter). That is exactly what a family from New York are doing, on purpose. Their plan is to reduce the environmental impact they make on the planet (or their ecological footprint click link to see how big yours is) for one year as an experiment. I truly admire people who are able to make decisions like this and I wish I was brave enough to do so. Incidentally Colin Beavan (the author of this experiment) tells us his wife loves Four Seasons hotels and he has a two year old daughter. This,I truly believe, makes him all the braver. You can read about it on ABC’s sci-tech section here and you can read the Family’s blog here.
