Going Green means Saving Money


Hi my name is Bart, I live in Toronto, Canada and I'm the founder of AboutMyPlanet.com. Just a few months ago I wrote an article on how I was able to save $550 a year by consolidating my office computers. When I saw that a small change like this saved me 50% on my energy bill, I knew that I needed to make it easy for people to go green. I then took a look at our hundreds of green tips we had on our website and decided we needed an easier way for people to see how they can go green. Over the next six months we've been working on creating two books that show you exactly how you can go green and save lots of money on monthly basis.

Go Green Revolution: My Life - Focuses on specific areas of your life and what you can do to go green and save money on your energy bills.



Go Green Revolution: My Office Handbook - This handbook focuses on your office life and how you can help to initial a green movement at your workplace.



The books are easy to follow and you don't have to do everything in the books; all you need to do is try and change one thing a week or month and slowly transform your life to a greener one. Before you know it, your impact on the environment will be a lot smaller and your monthly bills will be lower as well.

Why digital format?


We deliberated whether to publish our book on paper, or release a digital eBook instead. We choose digital format for a few reasons:

  • Faster release to you
  • No carbon footprint to deliver to the book to you
  • We don't use any paper and therefore save trees
  • We don't incur publishing costs so the price to you is much lower
  • You can share it with others, however we would encourage your friends and family to also purchase a copy because we donate money from each sale to plant trees

    Reader Questions

    Question: Hi, I'm just wondering where you are based?

    Is your new green tips book area specific? I am Canadian and am wondering if the tips are relevant to people anywhere or if there are many references for U.S. citizens only.

    Thanks!

    [Erin W.]
    Answer: Hi Erin, we're based out of Toronto and no the books are aimed at North America in general we tried to keep them generic enough so we could help as many people as possible.

    Thanks Erin
    Question: Hello, I'm looking forward to the launch but I'm wondering if I should wait till Spring to buy the book since a lot of what I can do is only during summer time.

    Dave R.
    Answer: Hi Dave, we hope you don't wait. The reality is that we've put so many green tips into these books that there is something you can do year round. Yes some tips you'll only be able to do during the summer but most you can start applying right now.

    Thanks Dave
