Organically grown food, no shopping, no trash, indoor composting, no paper products and no carbon-fueled transportation are just some of the rules of the No Impact Lifestyle Experiment of a New York couple intent on reducing their ecological footprint - in the middle of the city.
That means grocery job in the snow and in the rain on a scooter and a full year... a YEAR, folks! Without TOILET PAPER!
Spices are also on list of no-no's. Thankfully the couple has found a place to buy milk in reusable glass bottles.
