Welcome to the blog of the Environmental Chemistry students at University of Colorado Colorado Springs!
We just finished our two week interim course (phew!) and we have decided to start a blog to describe our successes and failures at adopting a no impact (though a better description would be LOW impact) lifestyle in support of Colin Beavan's "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."
Our goals:
1. To try one change each week (like: riding a bicycle to campus one day per week or buying nothing for one day) with the hope of adopting this action into our lifestyles.
2. To discuss our successes and failures at adopting these new challenges.
3. To live deliberately and to think about how our actions can both positively and negatively impact the lives of others and the planet.
Wish us luck!
