Welcome Luncheon featuring Colin Beavan , N O I M P A C T M A N In August 2006, Colin decided to challenge his own notions of what one man and his family can do to impact the world on a daily basis. He made it his quest, along with his Prada-wearing wife, young daughter and the family dog, to make it as real and personal as possible. The exercise being to reduce their ecological footprint. Colin's goal is to better understand how “Saving this planet depends on finding a middle path that is neither unconsciously consumerist nor self-consciously anti-materialist.”
