Product Description
Let David Bach show you a whole new way to prosper—by going green Internationally renowned financial expert and bestselling author David Bach has always urged readers to put their financial lives in line with their values. But what if your values are a cleaner and greener earth? Most people think that “going green” is an expensive choice they can’t afford. Bach is here to say that you can have both: a life in line with your green values and a million dollars in the bank.
Go Green, Live Rich outlines fifty ways to make your life, your home, your shopping, and your finances greener—and get rich trying. From driving the right car to making your home energy smart, Bach offers ways to improve the environment while you spend less, save more, earn more, and pay fewer taxes. Best of all, he shows you exactly how to take advantage of the "green wave" in personal finance without the difficult work of evaluating individual stocks. What's more, he will get you thinking about a green business of your own so you can help the world along as it is changing for the better.
David Bach is on a mission to teach the world that you can live a great life by living a green life. With Go Green, Live Rich, you can live in line with your eco-values on the road to financial freedom.

 Some Good Tips/Advice - Some Really Not applicable May 9, 2008
You must pick out from this applicable advice and tips for your personal use. Much doesn't apply to main stream American given their age or location.
 Go Green! May 5, 2008
I loved the book. There are great, easy to follow ideas in the book that are easy to adopt. He really does show you how to be environmentally friendly without breaking the bank. If you are looking for a way to reduce your footprint on the earth, you should read the book.
Useful Money Saving Tips Can Help Break Down Green Barriers May 5, 2008
One of the biggest barriers people face when thinking about living a greener lifestyle is the perception that it's going to cost them a lot more money. Bach's book ably demonstrates that readers will actually save substantially if they use energy and resources wisely. It's an important message and one that nicely complements other books that have come out this spring and offer more day-to-day, "how to" tips.
Extra information about things you already know May 4, 2008
I found most of the tips in the book to be things I have already heard before. "Change your light bulbs", "Bike to work", "Change your thermostat". However, Bach tried to do calculations for every tip to show how it helps you and it helps the environment. I questioned a few of the calculations, but he provides sources and he shows the calculations in the back of the book. As an engineer, I appreciate that. Bach also provides a lot of online resources to find more information or for products to support his tips.
Overall I thought the book was a short read that was full of interesting facts that helped support many of the things we have heard before.
Pros:
* Easy to read, somewhat informal style
* Kindle version available
* Many facts and calculations to back up the tips
Cons:
* I have heard most of the stuff before
* Many of the facts and resources will be out-of-date quickly
* The "Green Investing" chapter did not help me much
Great Book! May 2, 2008
This has got to be one of the best books I have read on this topic! It is full of useful ideas and web sites to checkout. It is great!! I take it with me to work to check out more while I am on break. You will not be sorry when you purchase this book!
