Seems like the perfect time, a week before Thanksgiving, to introduce a new kind of holiday season, one that is simpler, less stressful, more fun, more delicious and overall more satisfying.

Reflections from Alum: "This whole week was a chance to focus on various aspects of my habits and feel connected to like-minded people..I learned, that I am not doing enough to lower my impact, that it is not so difficult to do better...and that it is actually fun." - Jean, Costa Rica "...I found that when I did things the right way, the smart way, the responsible way, the greener way, life became a little bit easier." -Elanor, Pennsylvania HUFFINGTON POST'S NO IMPACT WEEK As the Experiment's first host, The Huffington Post did an incredible job engaging 4,600 participants and creating an extensive online forum that allowed people to share their experiences throughout the week. Check out their inspiring photos, videos and stories.  Congrats to all of our No Impact participants on a week well done.
