Transition Exeter

The documentary No Impact Man follows well-known American environmentalist and blogger Colin Beaven and his family as they embark on a year living with absolutely no impact in Manhattan. This means no cars, no fridges, no TV and no Starbucks. The trailer is online here:

The film shares the message that lowering consumption and increasing sustainability can enrich one’s life rather than sacrificing comfort. It also highlights the need for community action and the importance of sourcing produce locally.

The film is showing at Exeter Picturehouse as part of a simultaneous nationwide screening on September 7th at 8:30pm. Following the screening, Transition Exeter speaker Gill Westcott will take part in a Q&A session which will give you the opportunity to ask questions about how to lower your impact, as well as allowing you to tell us about other actions that are going on in your area of the city.
