520 $aBill McKibben meets Bill Bryson in this seriously engaging look at one man's decision to put his money where his mouth is and go off the grid for one year, while still living in New York City, to see if it is possible to make no net impact on the environment. In other words, no trash, no toxins in the water, no elevators, no subway, no products in packaging, no air-conditioning, no television. After this mad endeavor, the author explains to the rest of us how we can realistically live a more "eco-effective" and by turns more content life in an age of inconvenient truths.
