We are partnering with ClimateCounts.org and Phillips Exeter Academy to bring you Colin Beavan, author of the new book, No Impact Man: The Adventures of a Guilty Liberal Who Attempts to Save the Planet, and the Discoveries He Makes about Himself and Our Way of Life in the Process and subject of the new documentary of the same name.

Colin Beavan is a writer based in New York City. This book is about his attempt to live off the grid in NYC, to see if it is possible to make no net impact on the environment. He forgoes toilet paper, electricity and motorized transportation. Check out Beavan's blog about the process at www.noimpactman.typepad.com and watch a trailer for the documentary there as well. Beavan was recently on NHPR's Word of Mouth. Listen to the segment at http://www.nhpr.org/nextgreenthing.
 
Climatecounts.org is a collaborative effort to bring consumers and companies together in the fight against global climate change. They score the world's largest companies on their climate impact to encourage more corporate climate responsibility. Check out what they're doing, discover the scores of hundreds of companies, and make a donation at www.climatecounts.org.
 
The reading and signing will take place at Water Street Bookstore at 6:30pm. The screening of the documentary is part of the PEA Documentary Series and is being held at the Academy Center Forum on Tan Lane, just a short walk away on the Phillips Exeter Academy campus, and will begin at 7:45pm.

Join us for both, but if you can only make it to one, that's great too!
