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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - my reviewThe book is very good and gives a lot of ideas to improve our lives and our planet in the process.

For example, Bach suggests taking your home off the grid by going completely solar without any mention of what to do at night when the sun doesn't shine. The silliest suggestion is using recycled toilet paper instead of the soft stuff made from "virgin fiber" that comes from ... Read More Rating: - Green is goodEasy and quick to read. Simple to follow. Read a page or two a day and implement these ideas. I have shared this book with others and they have appreciated it as well. This book has many wonderful ideas on how to help our amazing planet and this is something we all need to do NOW. Let's Save Our Earth! Rating: - Successful in audiobook formatIn an entertaining way, David Bach gets listeners thinking green and making choices that are good for their wallets and the planet. While everyone knows about hybrid cars, most people don't realize that your home contributes more greenhouse gases, and Bach will show you tons of ways to make your home more energy efficient and less wasteful. You will be horrified by his statistics on the amount of waste generated by something as small as buying a cup of coffee to-go. His statistics are quite interesting ... Read More |
