No Impact Experiment

Posted on March 15, 2010 by admin

In the past year since the No Impact Man movie and book came out, Colin Beavan has turned No Impact into a movement through No Impact Project.

One of the Project’s programs is No Impact Week, a guided, week-long experiment to explore no-impact living. The idea is that we try the experiment and ask ourselves questions about our stuff. Short time makes it bounded and doable. Little pain. Time to explore.

Last fall, the Huffington Post teamed up with the No Impact Project to create a week of interesting content, including “The Most Ridiculous, Wasteful Consumer Products Ever.”

This is where I dropped in.

The most ridiculous, wasteful consumer products ever? How about throwaway underwear? We need to step back and ask questions about the products we allow into our homes and our consciousness.

We need a collective reality check.

Purpose

What a Waste is a project of Real Diaper Association (RDA). Its intent is to bring together the individuals and organizations---be they nonprofit or for-profit---who endorse and support the choice of reusable cloth diapers as a powerful way to reduce waste. Together, we will compile and publish research and news highlighting efforts to reject throwaway thinking and to promote the use of reusable products, particularly cloth diapers.
