Well, if you go online and search out a definition for "impact," this is what you get:
"noun:

2. an impinging: the impact of light on the eye.
3. influence; effect: the impact of Einstein on modern physics.

"NO Impact" clearly means the opposite.
Which lands us upon "No Impact Man."
"No Impact Man" was a movie, documentary, experiment on NOT making an impact on the environment. Like I said: it's a book, it's a movie, it's a blog. It could even be called a way of life.
There's even a follow-up with "How To Be Alive: A Guide to the Kind of Happiness that Helps the World"
It even made its way to the world of podcast (and a very good one at that): "The Good Life Podcast, Colin Beavan: No Impact Man on How to Be Alive"
A good read I can't wait to read! Or watch!
You can buy the movie from the website, or rent or buy it from Amazon.
