Colin Beavan is an American author and environmental activist.
He gained recognition for his year-long experiment in sustainable living, documented in "No Impact Man." Beavan, his wife, and daughter attempted to live in New York City for a year with minimal environmental impact.
This project involved eliminating trash production, carbon emissions, and electricity usage while eating only locally-sourced food.
Beavan's background is in writing, having published other books before this experiment.
He has since become a public speaker and advocate for environmental causes, founded the No Impact Project non-profit, and continues to write about sustainability and conscious living.
His work often explores the intersection of personal choices and global environmental issues.
