Summary 內容: Colin Beavan decides to completely eliminate his personal impact on the environment for the next year. No problem–at least for Colin – but he and his family live in Manhattan. So when his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife Michelle and their two-year-old daughter are dragged into the fray, the No Impact Project has an unforeseen impact of its own.
The film provides an intriguing inside look into the experiment that became a national fascination and media sensation, while examining the familial strains and strengthened bonds that result from Colin and Michelle’s struggle with their radical lifestyle change.
This is the last session of a documentary screening series entitled "The Next Homeland", co-organized by the General Education Unit, HKU and CNEX.
