It may be the author was more insightful than he might appear as this book has virtually 'no impact.' He tries. His project, born of desperation to find something which will sell, is pretty difficult: to convert his family unit of himself, wife & very young daughter, into a science experiment and leave 'no impact' on the earth in terms of pollution. I think his scientific facts (though rather limited in sources) are fairly sound. His reasoning as he plans the project, and as he forces his family into the experiment, perhaps less so. He comes off as charmless, self-involved, and very, very concerned with doing things perfectly. Some of the rambling about how to cut down waste is interesting, most not very useful. Mainly a liberal trying to live up to what he sees as a liberal's duty: showing others how good he is.
