 Savings are in the Larger Dollar purchases mostly not daily Nov 21, 2009
I bought the book hoping to find savings on things that are done daily. You know those daily purchases that little by little drain hundreds of bucks.
Unfortunely I was dissapointed. It does talk about the large issue things like home insulation. Green car purchases etc. If you haven't been able to figure out the large purchases that save you money well this book is for you. But I found that I spend twice as much on the long run in the small purchases that I do little by little, day in and day out and I didnt find much.
The authors books aren't bad but this one I believe was created to join the fad.

 Simplistic set of factoids Nov 06, 2009
This book is nothing more than a string of factoids about "simple things" that can be done to save money and save the environment. Many are simplistic (don't buy fast food every day), while some tend to be inaccurate ('bulk bins' at grocery store have a tendency to be more expensive and still are 'packaged'.)
At times, the author seems like s shill for various companies and organizations. (Many of these seem to be worthwhile. However, there also seem to be many that are left out.
It is also baffling that they made this in to an audiobook. The 50 "simple ways" each have a bit of narrative, a number of factoids, and then a list of a bunch of web sites. Not the most compelling listening experience.
Eh... Oct 02, 2009
How is it that Bach was able to make a string of these (nine, I believe) and have them all reach #1 on New York Times book charts? Most of this information can be found on the internet or even from CEOs and manufacturers themselves. It mostly dances around saving energy, gas, cars, water, electricity... I don't know what this guy was thinking.
Two stars for clean prose and clear photos.
I did not buy this book. I won it at a high school library. I wouldn't of purchased it otherwise, and I definitely don't recommend it.
 Solid Information Practical Actions Jan 29, 2009
David Bach's book is very good at giving people simple practical things that they (you and me actually) can do to make a real difference in the environment. For the last several years, all we seem to have done is talk about the problems of climate change while we went on engaged in the same old habits. Kind of like doing a play by play description of the car accident we are about to be in. This books offers real actions that each of us can take to avoid the comming collision. The time has come for us to stop talking and begin acting and David Bach is offering rock solid realistic things that each of us can do to not just get through this but to prosper.
Great Job David!
Bach is Back! Another Great Book!!! Jan 13, 2009
The book is well written, well organized and well researched. The facts and figures are mind boggling on what we can all do to save a little of the planet (and money). You don't have to follow all of the tips 100% to make an impact. Start small. You will get alot out of the book as you increase your involvement, spread the word to others, and research more and more on your own. This is a great starter book on green living without overkill like some. The book is worth the money especially used on Amazon so what are you waiting for? You can always resell the book or donate to your local library. I give David Bach and this title three thumbs up!!!
