The Year without Toilet Paper

Back in April, Wall Street Journal Online posted the video Stephen Colbert’s interview with No Impact Man, Colin Beavan.

Here’s Beavan talking about his family’s no-impact experiment:

For one year, my wife, my 2-year-old daughter, my dog and I, while living in the middle of New York City, are attempting to live without making any net impact on the environment. In other words, no trash, no carbon emissions, no toxins in the water, no elevators, no subway, no products in packaging, no plastics, no air conditioning, no TV, no toilets. . . .
