Don't miss a screening of the award-winning movie No Impact Man, on Thursday, Dec. 10th. They will be serving beer and asking for a $10 donation to send Stiv J. Wilson, Editor In Chief of Wend Magazine with the Algalita Marine Research Foundation (algalita.org) to the Atlantic Gyre to document Algalita's research mission. Read all about it here.

About The Film: Colin Beavan decides to completely eliminate his personal impact on the environment for the next year.

It means eating vegetarian, buying only local food, and turning off the refrigerator. It also means no elevators, no television, no cars, busses, or airplanes, no toxic cleaning products, no electricity, no material consumption, and no garbage.

No problem – at least for Colin – but he and his family live in Manhattan. So when his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife Michelle and their two-year-old daughter are dragged into the fray, the No Impact Project has an unforeseen impact of its own.
