One man's trash An East Texan builds homes out of recycled materials.

No impact man In November of 2006, Colin Beavan, embarked on a yearlong “lifestyle experiment” in which he vowed to reduce his planetary impact by producing (nearly) no trash, using (hardly) any carbon fuel and buying almost nothing new except food, and only that grown within a 250-mile radius of his home in New York City.
