By reading the front and back cover of the book‚ it could be concluded that No Impact Man would be a fairly boring and drug out book. To most‚ including myself‚ a novel about a random‚ guilty liberal who decided he should stop making an impact on the environment while dragging his family down into this endeavor sounds very unappealing. Despite this‚ I did have high hopes that it would turn out to be a good novel; the environment is indeed in danger and is in need of help‚ the project sounded unique

No Impact Man Reflection Essay Before I read this book‚ I thought it was going to be a load of crap. I was probably the least environmentally concerned person ever. I actually got a little upset and thought people were silly when they made decisions based simply on what’s best for the environment. I was convinced that the interest of people was much more important‚ and that if the planet’s needs contradicted my own…tough luck for the Earth. I didn’t recycle unless it was more convenient. I didn’t
