And that's just the beginning.

Is it possible? Could it catch on? Is living this way more satisfying or less satisfying? Harder or easier? Is it worthwhile or senseless? Are we all doomed or can our culture reduce the barriers to sustainable living so it becomes as easy as falling off a log? These are the questions at the heart of this whole mad endeavor, via which Colin Beavan hopes to explain to the rest of us how we can realistically live a more \"eco-effective\" and by turns more content life in an age of inconvenient truths.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eColin Beavan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eNo Impact Man \u003c\/i\u003eas well as two previous books that have absolutely nothing to do with the environment: \u003ci\u003eFingerprints: The Murder Case That Launched Forensic Science\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOperation Jedburgh: D-Day and America's First Shadow War\u003c\/i\u003e.
