Breaking through the hype: How can living green be easy and affordable?

We all have heard the buzzwords before: green, sustainable, reuse-recycled, carbon footprint, etc. The environmental movement is a very trendy topic (just take a look at some Twitter polls whenever you get a chance). But even with all the hype, many are still finding it hard to make the proper adjustments to their lifestyle.

Some people doubt climate change (yeah, tell me about it), while others feel that “green” products and services are just a big scam. Some people may just not like Al Gore. And probably most prominent: going green just costs way too damn  much.

This is precisely where the new eBook “How To Go Green” comes in. The aim of the book is to show the public that, regardless of personal beliefs and the environmental movement as a whole, going green is the smart thing to do.

In the end, according to the book, living an eco-friendly lifestyle will both save the planet and save you money.

Making real changes in small steps

For starters, the new guide explains in layman-terms things like global warming and climate change, and how people – yes people - are not only the major cause but also their greatest adversary. From there the guide explains in detaul all the super-practical things a person can do in order to have less of an impact on the environment.

According to the guide: “Nobody expects you to go from driving your car everyday to get your coffee through a drive-thru to suddenly standing on the side of the road protesting people who don’t bring their own cups.”

What the guide does propose however, is that many small eco friendly steps can go a long way – especially if many people are doing them. For example bringing a reusable bag when shopping, instead of always buying a new plastic one, does not in any way lessen quality of life nor is it expensive or particularly burdensome to do.

The guide then moves on to explaining how to implement many changes of this kind into daily life. Many different aspects are covered, such as:

• Making the whole home more eco friendly – literally from the lawn up to the attic
• Going green as a family
• How to go green as an employee or a business owner
• What can be done to help the community to go green

The How To Go Green guide is available as an instant digital download that includes both a PDF and an audio book version of the main guide.

The goal of this entire package is to paint a complete picture of how everyday people can change to an environmentally sustainable lifestyle today, while in the process actually save money and improve ones health.
