For 1 year (this is done as and when) they tried to best achieve their goals: zero carbon, zero waste, zero pollution in the air, zero toxin in water and zero resource pumped the planet. A really crazy bet! This results in new rules of life. Examples:
- More airplane, subway, car or taxi ... Only walking, biking or riding scooters.
- Do not consume "products while facts" that use too much packaging ...
- Reject a minimum of waste (eg, paper towels all over, disposable diapers, packaging ...)
- Buy and eat only local produce (in a radius of 400 Km to avoid pollution caused by freight transport).
- More television, more lift, more radiators, air conditioning .... and stuff in New York!
- More talks toxic or cosmetic products, only natural products (soda, vinegar ...).
- More power in recent months ...
Here are some examples that can make you smile while reading, have compassion too (go to work in the rain bike for example) but in any case, make you admire!
This book can change attitudes and behavior among people who read it. Myself, having seen all the effort this New York family had provided I think that we also, that we do coûterai not much to do a bit more than what we already have. And even if our tiny scale, it may seem ridiculous, I tell myself it's the small streams make big rivers!
A book that I recommend to all those who care about the ecology and want to know more about global warming and the impact we have on Earth. This book is very well documented. He will certainly answer all your questions and I hope you will change a little to you too ...!
