Summary: Some Good Tips/Advice - Some Really Not applicable

Summary: Useful Money Saving Tips Can Help Break Down Green Barriers
Comment: 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.

Summary: Extra information about things you already know
Comment: 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* Many of the facts and resources will be out-of-date quickly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

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: 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!
