Tip 114 Go Green, Live Rich

There are seven aspects to my personal success wheel: health & wellness, spirituality, job & career, intellectual & cultural pursuits, finances, deep relationships and, very importantly, giving back.

That’s why I’m so pleased to share that financial guru David Bach is making a major contribution to the earth – and encouraging you to do the same – with his new book Go Green, Live Rich: 50 Simple Ways to Save the Earth (and Get Rich Trying). It is his passion project. His personal transformation to environmentalist began when he moved into a “green building.” He stopped needing prescription drugs for his allergies, his son’s asthma disappeared and they both slept better. He started educating himself on the environment and felt compelled to write this book.

Here’s an insightful business tip from the “Go Green At Work” chapter:

“By telecommuting just two days per week, over the course of a year an employee will drive 3,000 fewer miles, save approximately $430 in gas and eliminate 3,120 pounds of CO2 emissions. The benefits to an employee include more flexibility, commuting money saved, less stress and overall increased satisfaction in his or her job. Employers can reduce office space, have less furniture, reduce operating expenses, and benefit from lower employee absenteeism, lower turnover and increased employee productivity.”

The book is in stores April 8th, but you will get over $2,000 in free bonuses when you buy the book online at www.greengreen.com between April 1st and 11th. For each and every copy purchased online through his special offer, David will donate $1 to Waterkeeper Alliance, an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting our waterways from pollution. So, 100,000 books purchased = $100,000 donated to keep our water clean! Plus for each of the first 1,000 books sold, a tree will be planted by Gaiam to help fight climate change.
