If nothing else, he made you think and write and he motivated me and many others to do the same. We need more people like Colin Bevan and his family. I saw the movie and it really inspired me. I will try the same. Thanks Colin because you knew many would send horrible messages to you and your family and you did it. CONGRATULATIONS>>> I hope for your wife you have more children...we need more of your genes.

While I can admire his chutzpah in getting into the news, the man and his equally besotted family sets back the cause of sustainability every time he's in the news. It's sad that he gets additional publicity on this and other blogs as well. There are plenty of people doing real, tangible, everyday things that genuinely futher the cause of low impact. But they're not newsworthy, of course.
