There are many follow-up activities from this film.  Join us as we try our own version of the No (or Low) Impact Experiment.  The original version tries one thing each day for one week.  We would like to try each thing for one month with a meeting in the middle of the month to discuss progress.  We will start with Eco Sabbath during September.  Don’t use any energy (no computers, no stoves, no lights, etc.) for one day, one-half day, or one hour each week.  Do as much or as little as you want.  Watch here for info on our mid-September meeting.   http://noimpactproject.org/experiment/ 

Eco Sabbath  is about awareness and taking some time back for yourself. This is a chance to lay off the lights, televisions, computers, appliances, cell phones, flashing gadgets, and other stuff that seems to make the world go round. It’s a special time to hang out (or in) by yourself or with friends and family. It is a time to reflect on the well-being of yourself and the planet.  This is a time to discover and appreciate the bare necessities.  For one day or afternoon or even one hour a week, don’t buy anything, don’t use any machines, don’t switch on anything electric, don’t cook, don’t answer your phone, and, in general, don’t use any resources. In other words, for this regular period, give yourself and the planet a break. Keep your regular Eco-Sabbath for a month. You’ll find that the enforced downtime represents an improvement to your life.
