UPDATE - 10/25: Sunday night's screening was attended by more than 100 people, some 20 of whom met afterwards for discussion in Palmer's biergarten. Missed the show? A DVD of the film is available for checkout at the La Grange library.
Ever wonder what it would be like to reduce your carbon footprint to nothing; to adopt a lifestyle that has zero negative impact on the environment that supports us? Then make plans to join similarly minded folks this Sunday night (Jan. 24) for a screening of No Impact Man, a film about one New York City resident and his family who spent an entire year without, well, just about every convenience one associates with modern-day life.
The show starts at 7 p.m. at the La Grange Theatre and is hosted by Go Green La Grange, the Voluntary Simplicity Group of the La Grange Public Library and the La Grange Area League of Women Voters. Admission is free.
Go Green is a group of volunteers who live in and around La Grange, and who tout the benefits of sustainable living. Check out their website, gogreenlagrange.org.
Lest you think a movie about living without television, automobiles, elevators, fast food, cosmetics and squeezably soft toilet paper has got to be a downer, take note that the Los Angeles Times calls No Impact Man" both compelling and extremely funny."
Who knows? You may even be inspired to make a few changes of your own.
