Beavan, a New York City writer and liberal, has big plans for his new book. He decides on a grand experiment to live a year with as little impact on the environment as possible. The project requires his wife Michelle an espresso guzzling, Prada-worshipping business writer and their young daughter to be fully on board. As the family embarks on a year of no electricity, TV, cars, toilet paper, elevators, or newspapers, Michelle must contend with caffeine withdrawal, compost worms, limited retail, and defending her own dreams. What ensues is a not only a funny and entertaining look at well-intentioned environmentalism, but a touching, poignant take on the nature of contemporary marriage.

An entertaining, amusing, and provocative film.
