Not Just Another "How To"

With so many other books out there about how to "go green," you will be delighted to know that "Go Green, Save Green" is not just another guide to add to that multitude--it is so much more. The book is divided up into chapters that help you green-up every part of your life, from home to holidays, and it does it in a way that is enjoyable to read and not a mere checklist of things to do. The book also offers facts and anecdotes about why it is important to go green aside from just the savings. This aspect of the book gives the reader an even greater incentive to simplify their lives when their initial motivation of monetary gain may run out. This book will certainly not be a dust collector, but will be one that you reference continually and read again just for pleasure.

Helpful & friendly

As a college student, I haven't necessarily had the means to make the green changes in my life that I would like to. Sure, I've known all about turning off the lights, shutting off the faucet, and recycling my bottles. I've also known that there is more to going green than that, I've just never known what that "more" is. "Go Green, Save Green" gave me insight into the things that I can do as a college student and a steward of God's world. It has helped me to integrate my faith into this pressing issue that I have been learning about since I was a child. I learned how much of a difference I can make just by washing my clothes in cold water and hanging them to dry. I have been challenged to take a day of rest as a way to reconnect with God and take care of myself and this world. It lives up to its title, and I have learned how to "Go Green, Save Green." I look forward to sharing this helpful, friendly read with everyone I know.

save stuff

A singularly interesting and valuable tool for any "greenie", this text is the ultimate for a spiritually-minded person. Combines the best of both areas: ecologically sound, and centered on the Bible. I would send this book to any friends who are confused about their own role in the society in which we live. This is a difficult time for everyone in America, and even those with an adequate source of funds will find money saving tips galore, to reduce wanton expense and therefore have more to donate/give away/share. Start reading and then start DOING. It is easy with this book in your hands. Thanks Mrs. Sleeth.

Indispensable guide to living green and cutting living expenses

Wow. An amazingly helpful book absolutely jammed with ideas for how to live green and reduce your carbon footprint. The bonus is that most of these ideas also enable you to drastically reduce your monthly living expenses. A welcome book in these tough economic times.

Green made EASY!

The way the book was laid out caused me to think this might be a boring read -- more of a reference, perhaps. When I sat down and started reading, the thing reads itself. Almost every green author right now has a top-10 list of how-to-go-green directives. The difference with Nancy's book is that she tells you why it's important to do those things (i.e. statistics about how many gallons of water it takes to produce certain products, etc.). The frequent home-spun stories are warm and inviting, as well, causing the reader to identify with the everyday applications of the thousands of tips in the book. Having read the book, I've done a complete overhaul of my house (CFLs, low-flow showerhead, recycling, cloth napkins, water/heating/cooling conservation, as well as used clothing and checking out other used items on Craigslist and Freecycle. THIS is the book that can help all of us save money, remind us of the joys of family, and actively save the planet in our everyday lives. A must-have, for sure.
