Less impact man

This past weekend my girlfriend, Sara, and I watched "No Impact Man" streamed over Netflix. Its about a fellow and his family who live in New York City and try to live a year with no environmental impact. Its a progression from reducing their trash, nasty cleaners, eating locally (w/i 250 miles) and finally turning off the electricity for six months. Its inspired us to 'lower' our impact. I've been increasingly trying to feed my family food made from more and more basic ingredients. Next week I'm going to start spending some of my grocery time at the local natural foods store where they have an impressive bulk section and you're allowed to bring your own containers. This will cut down on the trash we produce and also save a little money as well. I'm also planning to check out the farmer's market as well. There are going to be a lot of posts over this summer as I garden, cook and shop our way to savings and reduced eco-impact. Stay tuned for more.
