Hi Everyone,

Thank you for making this week a success.  We had thousands of people join, created a robust dialogue and helped teach one another about our consumer habits and our impact on the environment.

Over the last few days we've received a flood of emails from people giving their feedback on the week.  Perhaps the most inspiring testimonial was a video from the largest single community of participants, a group of environmentally-minded Muslims in Washington D.C.

The YouTube video made by the D.C. Green Muslims is worth watching, and you can read many of the other reflections that we've received here, including one about confronting habits of  over-consumption by Donna Joseph, who Arianna featured in her blog on the second day of No Impact Week. 

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback, it will help No Impact Project refine the process for future experiments -- the next one starts November 15th. 

And thank you to Colin Beavan and Stephanie Bleyer, from No Impact Project, for being incredible partners to work with and for expanding opportunities for online engagement through near nightly webcasts and the community Ning site.

Although HuffPost won't help run them, there will be many more No Impact Weeks to come, so continue to spread the word.  As for HuffPost's Eyes & Ears, we will be returning our focus to community investigations of the financial system and US politics.  If you want to join our citizen journalism email list, please sign up here.

Thanks again for making No Impact Week a success!
