I wanted to introduce you to a someone who has inspired me, but also confirmed to me that what I’m trying to do here is important.

Colin Beavan from the No Impact Project – also known as No Impact Man.

In 2007 he tried to leave no impact on the environment for an entire year, meaning cutting out garbage, buying local & second-hand, cycling, reducing electricity and lots of other things.

He has in 2009 founded the No Impact Project where you can sign up to a No Impact Experiment for a week.

I have joined the challenge, and will start the one-week carbon cleanse on Sunday 28th October 2012. You’re more than welcome to join me, the more the merrier - sign up here.

If you sign up – or just want to follow along – I’ll be posting my progress on the MadeFromCrap facebook page, so make sure you’ve liked it.
