No Impact Man

The documentary Super Size Me recorded Morgan Spurlock's near suicidal decision to spend a month eating nothing but McDonald's junk food. This fascinating documentary follows New York writer Colin Beavan in the opposite direction when he decides to spend a year with his wife (a journalist on Business Week ) and little daughter making no impact on the environment by rejecting meat, lavatory paper, electricity, restaurant meals etc etc. It's like a real-life American version of The Good Life but funnier, less smug and more instructive.
