book: go green, live rich

1760284 book: go green, live rich

I just picked up the book Go Green, Live Rich by David Bach with Hillary Rosner.  You must get yourself a copy!  Like David Bach’s other books it’s a very informative easy read and with chapters like “Drive Smart, Finish Rich”, and “Shop Green, Spend Less” it’s likely you’ll find some tips that will both cause you to live a greener lifestyle and save some money along the way.  I’m off to calculate my carbon footprint now!

For more information about this book head over to David Bach’s website.
