New York author and environmental activist Colin Beavan will speak in the CEU Auditorium, Nador Utca 9, 1051, Budapest, on Tuesday, May 14th, at 5 pm. This event is open to the public.
Colin is known worldwide for the book, film, and blog No Impact Man, which document his family’s one year experiment living with zero-net environmental impact in the middle of New York City. For one year, Colin and his family ate only locally grown food, used no electricity or carbon producing transportation, made no trash, and made no new purchases other than food. This experiment was used as a platform to bring international attention to environmental issues and examine whether it is possible to live a good life without harming the earth.
Colin's work has been the subject of stories in the New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, and hundreds of other news outlets. Colin has appeared on shows such as The Colbert Report, Good Morning America, and Nightline, among others.
No Impact Man, Colin's most recent book, is required reading on over 100 American college campuses at last count. It has been translated into 15 languages. The documentary film, also titled No Impact Man, was featured at Sundance Film Festival and has been shown in theaters and broadcasted on television around the world.
We invite you to join us for Colin’s public discussion at CEU.
