Go Green, Live Rich

I’ve read a lot of books and I do mean A LOT on living green, being green, and doing green; and I’ve come to the point where I’ve almost stopped reading them because after a while you realize they are quite redundant of each other.

So when Go Rich, Live Green by David Bach with Hilary Rosner showed up in my mailbox I was instantly intrigued.  There is this assumption out there that being green is costly, in fact a couple of DJs on a local radio station here in my city where joking one morning on how the grocery store chain Whole Foods should be renamed Whole Paycheck!

The author David Bach is no eco-guru but he does know money!  So he combined his business savvy with top environmentalist Hilary Rosner and now we have 50 Simple Ways to Save the Earth (and Get Rich Trying)!  Something we tree-huggers have been trying to tell people for years.

The book is a list of easy to read tips that I will admit most eco-warriors already know and if you haven’t been living under a rock lately then you too are probably familiar with some of his ideas.  But the difference between David and Hilary’s book is that they present the what, the why, and most importantly the how!  Most books just tell you global warming is after us and go “be green” without explaining in non-scientific terms the why and the how.

I’m a fact girl - I like facts, statistics, and references and I assume most writers do too.  This book has them; that’s probably the most useful stuff I got from the book along with chapter 10, tip 43-Invest Green.

Everyone is looking for that get rich quick book , well here you go and it doesn’t hurt that you can save the planet while you’re at it!

I agree with yo ont his book. I've only read 4, this one being my fourth, but this is exactly what I wanted in my search to improve on trying to be earth concious. I like your blog and will come back.

Yes have to agree with you on the book as well, much of the information can easily be found if you're serious about a lifestyle change however they reasoning the authors add is definately a wonderful change from the doom and gloom mentality of some of the more extreme environmentalist.

Must admit I haven't bought the book but occasionally glance at a few pages over an herbal tea at borders.
