In honor of Earth Day, the Martha’s Vineyard Film Society will screen No Impact Man, a documentary film that follows Manhattanite Colin Beavan and his family during their year-long pursuit of a lifestyle that leaves zero environmental impact. To Vineyarders, such a goal would seem ambitious, but certainly plausible. But for a young family living in New York city, zero impact means zero elevators, taxis, Windex, television, material consumption of any kind, and no garbage. This comedic and occasionally profound document of their experiment shows just how difficult green living can be.

Doors to the Katharine Cornell Theatre on Spring street in Vineyard Haven open at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 24. Admission is $8, or $5 for society members. For details, call 774-392-2972 or visit mvfilmsociety.com.
