A newly self-proclaimed environmentalist who can no longer avoid pointing the finger at himself, Colin leaves behind his liberal complacency for a vow to make as little environmental impact as possible for one year. No more automated transportation, no more electricity, no more non-local food, no more material consumption...no problem. That is until his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife Michelle and their two-year-old daughter are dragged into the fray. What begins as one man's environmental experiment quickly becomes an experiment in how much one woman is willing to sacrifice for her husband's ambitions.
