Here's a cool blog. "NO IMPACT MAN" (or NIM, not to be confused with NIMBY), who describes himself as "a guilty liberal" has gone off on a quixotic quest to try and live with absolutely NO negative environmental impacts. All this, from New York City, "while dragging his baby daughter and Prada-wearing, Four Seasons Loving wife along for the ride." Oh my dear wife, are you reading this???? CP first of all wonders how NIM can post this blog without using electricity. Maybe he has his PC hooked up to a bike pedal generator. Of course it took resources and energy to build the computer. GRRRRRrrrrr. Check out NIM at http://noimpactman.typepad.com/blog/. Let's all wish him well. We can learn a thing or two from his personal crusade. (He's even planning to compost his poop.) Yes, he is in New York.
So, in his honor, CP has penned this song (sung to the Tune of The Beatle's "Nowhere Man").
He's a real no Impact Man,
Puts nothing in his garbage can
Wants to save the land.
From his New York bathroom with a view,
He doesn't make a lot of poo,
We all know where it's going to,
Isn't he a bit unlike you and me?
No Impact Man, please listen,
I dont mean to be dissin,
but we all eat, drink and go pissin'
No Impact Man, the world has too high a demand
Are you afraid to take a pee?
'Cause it may end up in the sea,
No Impact Man can you stop it all?
No Impact Man, please hurry,
I'm really startin' to worry,
Leave it all till somebody else pollutes the land.
Does your place have a Central Park view?,
Do you walk or bike to where you're going to?
Are you at all like you and me?
No Impact Man, please listen,
You'll soon know what you're missing,
No Impact Man, the world is going to hell in a basket-hand.
You're a real No Impact Man,
Sitting in Your New York Land,
Making all your No Impact plans for nobody.
Making all your No Impact plans for nobody.
Making all your No Impact plans for nobody.
