NO IMPACT MAN/WEEK
Watch No Impact Man April 4 in HUMN 1B50 at 6 pm and join CU's No Impact
Week April 10-17. This is a chance to see the difference no-impact living can
have on your quality of life. It's not about giving up creature comforts but an
opportunity to test whether the modern "conveniences" you take for granted
are actually making you happier or just eating away at your time and money.
