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.

 Green is good June 29, 2008
Easy 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!
Successful in audiobook format June 17, 2008

In 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 even for those who already feel they make green choices. Who knew that plasma TVs use twice as much electricity? I was especially pleased to see that Bach had a lengthy section on biodiesel. With so many green ideas offered, any listener will find something in this book that they can incorporate into their lives.
This is a very successful non-fiction book in audio format. Each chapter is broken down into separate tracks titled 1a, 1b, 1c so the information is easily referenced. Bach details the environmental problem, then discusses how consumers can solve the problem, and follows up with "go green action steps". Listeners will want to go back and reference the action steps and this is easily done since they are on separate tracks. Go Green, Live Rich is a non fiction book that is as easily used in audio format as in the print edition. This is an excellent production and worthwhile material.
 Don't Waste Your Green... June 10, 2008

In typical David Bach fashion, he has simply restated the obvious, added a snappy title and failed to come up with even one new or original idea of his own. Need an example? How about Tip #3: Increase Your Fuel Economy by downsizing from your SUV or big truck which averages 18 mpg, to a Honda Civic which averages 36 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg in the city. Brilliant and terribly, terribly obvious. I recommend saving your green and your time.
Brilliant! May 27, 2008
This book is well written, well designed and very easy to read. It contains great tips for living green, and saving money in the process. It also lists ways of investing in green funds.
I've been researching this topic for the last year and I find that the resources and facts from this book are more accurate than the ones in other "green books".
Pretty Good May 25, 2008
This work by Mr Bach continues to be consistant in quality. Although presented differently (i.e. format), he gives good ideas, excellent points and things to ponder. I would suggest this to anyone who would like to integrate being environmentally aware into their financial structure.
