The No Impact Lifestyle Experiment - A Year Without Toilet Paper
A Year Without Toilet Paper

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.

Welcome to Walden Pond, Fifth Avenue style... Colin Beavan, 43, a writer of historical nonfiction, and Michelle Conlin, 39, a senior writer at Business Week, are four months into a yearlong lifestyle experiment they call No Impact. Its rules are evolving, as Mr. Beavan will tell you, but to date include eating only food (organically) grown within a 250-mile radius of Manhattan; (mostly) no shopping for anything except said food; producing no trash (except compost, see above); using no paper; and, most intriguingly, using no carbon-fueled transportation.
