"Bach (The Automatic Millionaire; Start Late, Finish Rich) offers a multitude of suggestions for conserving the planet — and your money — in this attractive and accessible guide. A few of Bach's tips require making a serious commitment (growing your own vegetables, using recyclable energy, trading in your car for a fuel-efficient model); others such as unplugging unused appliances, switching to compact fluorescent bulbs and eating less meat are simple — if familiar — ways to go green. Bach also advocates making environmental consciousness a family value (spending more family time in nature, taking volunteer vacations), greening holidays by using recycled wrapping paper, sending e-cards and 'tree-cycling.' Bach clarifies how the most conservative changes in lifestyle can yield radical results: 'If every U.S. computer and monitor were turned off at night, the nation could shut eight large power stations and avoid emitting 7 million tons of CO2 every year.' In the 'Finish Rich' section, Bach turns his attention from going green to getting green — investing the money you save in eco-friendly businesses. A winning and wise guide, this book — printed on recycled paper with proceeds going to a green advocacy group — will find a large audience."
