About the Book

Living green used to be the thing that hippies and tree-huggers did. Then, all of a sudden, it moved all the way to what Tesla drivers and super-rich people did.

This little e-book helps you travel your own middle ground by suggesting six simple steps. You don't have to go all the way, and you are free to find your own way around them. Living greener should be a choice that you will make comfortably.

Each of the steps is explained and broken down into clear, manageable fragments that can make sense anywhere you live. The workbook pages help you make the learning personal and let you work out how to apply the green ideas around your home, work, and life.

25% of all profits from this book will go to benefit The Bicycle Relief each year.
