"No Impact Man" by Colin Beavan

     I enjoyed reading Colin Beavan's No Impact Man.  I think he had a very interesting style of writing.  I like the way he approached his subjects.  I think the way he brought in science into his book was very smart.  I think it helped show how much the Earth is in need.  Some scientists will say that he trivialized the things that are going on in the world , but to tell you the truth I for one had no idea it was this bad.  I think him explaining with science helped.  I also think Beavan got a little sidetracked at times while writing.  I think he at times went a little too far off into left field on some of the subjects he talked about.  He gave some great background on a lot of different subjects; I was not real sure where it fit in to the book.  I really enjoyed when he actually spoke about the project itself, and what he did with it and how he changed himself and his life.  I also liked how he explained how the cycle of life into his project.  This helped me comprehend a little more.  I really liked the part about him visiting the farm with the cows.  This is how I wish all animals were treated.  He describes how other farms treat cows and it can be an absolutely horrific thing.  I like that his visit shows how there are still farms that care about their animals.  I really did enjoy this book.  I look forward to seeing him speak.  I would like to know what changes he has kept in his life from the project.  I would also like to know how he travels now that he is doing this book and No Impact Project tour.
