Colin Beavan, a.k.a. No Impact Man, visited the Molloy College campus this week as part of the Earth Week celebration. He spoke to about 100 attendees about the need for people to recognize the connectivity among us all, and the need to not polarize issues. We all need to do the best we can to protect the earth as well deal with many other issues, and though we may have different ideas about how to do that, we are all in the same boat. We can’t remain selfish and “fighting over deck chairs on the Titanic.”  His own epiphany came when he walked into his air conditioned apartment one day and realized that our country was at war over the fuel needed to run that air conditioner. He wanted to live a life that did not require fighting over, and thus came the idea for the No Impact project. He still rides his bike, remains vegetarian, and doesn’t use air conditioning.
