You don't have to be rich or a rock star to figure out that living lighter is a lot more fun, healthier, and less expensive than you expected. Thrifty Green lays out the road. And you don't even need a bike or an electric car to drive there (though I'd recommend it). -Chris Paine, director, Revenge of the Electric Car and Who Killed the Electric Car?-- Reviews If you want to stay in denial and apathy, if you want to rationalize selfdestructive patterns, this book's not for you. But if you want to know how to reduce your spending and your carbon footprint while increasing the joy and the beauty in your life, if you want to live a lowcost, highhappiness life, you could not ask for a finer guide than this marvelous book. John Robbins, author The Food Revolution, Diet for a New America, and The New Good Life-- Reviews Far more than just a practical primer for those with an interest in living lighter on the planet, Thrifty Green succeeds in capturing a true sense of place and presents a compelling case for why living more simply can be the richest lifestyle choice of all. -Jeff Yeager, author of The Cheapskate Next Door and The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches-- Reviews
