No Impact Man: The Adventures of a Guilty Liberal Who Attempts to Save the Planet and the Discoveries He Makes About Himself and Our Way of Life in the Process - Rilegato

“[Beavan’s experiment is] equal parts grace and calamity ... washed down with a big draught of engaging palaver.”
— New York Times

“So fervent as to make Al Gore look like a profligate wastrel, Beavan’s commitment to the cause is, nonetheless, infectiously inspiring and uproariously entertaining.”
— Booklist

“There’s something of Thoreau in Colin Beavan’s great project — but a fully engaged, connected, and right-this-minute helpful version. We’re at a moment when we need to have as little impact in our own lives as possible — and as much impact in our political lives as we can possibly muster. Beavan shows how!”
— Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy

“No Impact Man touches a nerve with people beyond hard-core environmentalists.” 
— San Francisco Chronicle

“Beavan forces the reader to confront his or her personal role in the climate change crisis.”
— Winnipeg Free Press

“An inspiring, persuasive argument.”
— Kirkus Reviews

“Beavan captures his own shortcomings with candor and wit and offers surprising revelations . . . While few readers will be tempted to go to Beavan's extremes, most will mull over his thought-provoking reflections and hopefully reconsider their own lifestyles.”
— Publishers Weekly

“Deeply honest and riveting.”
— Marion Nestle, author of What to Eat

“Colin Beavan has the disarming and uniquely remedial ability to make you laugh while making you feel like a swine, and what’s more, to make you not only want to, but to actually do something, about it.”
—Norah Vincent, author of Voluntary Madness and Self-Made Man
