"This book is completely amazing - it has great eco tips sliced down into a few pages each addressing a specific topic, discussing both monetary and environmental aspects. While I haven't seen anything thus far that will make me "rich" - he does have some great information that I never knew, such as that some bottled waters are actually just straight tap water (shame on you Pepsi!) and those that are from springs are less heavily regulated than tap water. Wow, eye opening information and enjoyable to read in small doses whenever I have a few spare minutes. Also includes lots of great websites for places I can reference in the future - such as a site with aluminum water bottles so I can tote along my own *free* tap water and not have to worry about the plastic bottle! Yay for tree huggers!!"

" Not bad. Bach provides a few interesting ways to not only help the environment but to save (and supposedly make) money too. My biggest concern is the authors promotion of bio-diesel. While bio-diesel seemed like a good idea at first, it has been debated that growing plants for fuel will only increase the demand. An increased demand will increase the need for land (goodbye rainforests), make the plants more expensive in the long run, and eventually make food more expensive, particularly for those who have trouble affording it anyway. In other words, read the book. It's interesting and insightful, but take it for what it is: a marketing ploy directed at the go greeners. "
— Nate, 2/16/2014" When I first saw this book I figured Bach had just tried to tap into the latest trend to make his next million. How serious could he be about going green? But I believe he is sincere in his efforts. As far as the content: anyone who is dark green will not find much useful info. But for folks who seem overwhelmed by a greener way of life, this book is a good place to start. Bach does keep it simple in his 50 steps. The book is very well organized and has great resources for anyone who thinks you have to have money to live an eco-friendly lifestyle. "

— Michael, 1/26/2014" Read this in one day. Great read. It's amazing how little things can add up so quickly. I love reading green books. Hopefully once I'm in Texas for good I can read the other green books I own (they're all packed away, sadly). "
— Lucy, 1/20/2014" It was indeed SIMPLE ways to save the earth. These tips were a little too basic for me because I am quite well-read as far as environmental issues are concerned. However, for somebody less "green," it would be helpful. Either way, the book was full of interesting facts--a quick read. "
