Promoting sustainable food and water systems through No Impact Man

Today, Food & Water Watch Executive Director Wenonah Hauter hosted the premier screening of the documentary film No Impact Man at the Angelika Film Center in New York, NY. The event marked the launch of the consumer advocacy organization’s joint effort with author Colin Beaven to promote the need for safe food and clean water resources. Following the film Hauter spoke with the audience about the social and environmental impacts of consumer food and water choices.

No Impact Man follows Beaven as he attempts to live off the grid for one year—while still living in New York City—to see if it’s possible to make no net impact on the environment. Food & Water Watch will host a series of screenings and public education events throughout the country to help promote the film and the need for sustainable food and water systems.

“In No Impact Man, Colin Beaven makes a series of lifestyle adjustments that reduce his ecological footprint and also underscore many important realities regarding our nation’s food and water resources,” said Hauter. “Beaven’s embrace of local food highlights the importance of a sustainably grown and produced food system. Similarly, his rejection of bottled water in favor of tap water illustrates the value of well-funded and well-maintained water infrastructure systems. Food & Water Watch is proud to partner with No Impact Man in order to promote these ideas to consumers around the country.”

The partnership compliments Food & Water Watch’s “Take Back the Tap” campaign, which educates the public about the detrimental social, environmental and economic effects of bottled water. In addition to being no safer than tap water, the production of bottled water takes water from communities that need it in exchange for dangerous, low-paying jobs; pollutes the environment; and costs thousands of times its actual value.

Food & Water Watch, a nonprofit consumer organization based in Washington, D.C., works to ensure clean water and safe food in the United States and around the world. We challenge the corporate control and abuse of our food and water resources by empowering people to take action and transforming the public consciousness about what we eat and drink.
