Book Description

March 9, 2010
Save Your Planet—and Your Wallet

Going green doesn’t mean spending big bucks on organic food, solar panels, and hybrid cars. At its core, green living is simply about moderation, efficiency, and—believe it or not—living less expensively. Shift Your Habit shows you how to make easy changes to your lifestyle that will do the most to benefit your budget and the planet.
 
Included are hundreds of habit-shifting suggestions to leave you with thousands of dollars you would otherwise never see again. These are tiny modifications that any family can make . . . and some already have. You’ll meet fifteen families who can testify to just how simple shifting can be and how much money can be saved.
 
Shift Your Habit pinpoints small tweaks that can lead to huge personal and planetary rewards, such as:
 
• Switch to an ultra-low-flow showerhead—save $135 a year
• Pack waste-free school lunches—save $200 per child a year
• Reduce your driving speed by 5 m.p.h.—save $900 a year
• So far, Shifter Families have saved almost $100,000, nearly 500,000 gallons of water, and more than 15 tons of waste
 
Every shift counts, and with numbers like these, it’s easy to see just how much.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Rogers (coauthor of The Green Book), an environmental consultant, shows how shifting to a more environmentally conscious lifestyle will not only help the planet but save money and time and improve quality of life. Her comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide is tailored to those on tight budgets with busy schedules who are justifiably wary of sacrificing their families' health and well-being. She shares the stories of helping families of varying income levels across the country to save money and reduce their carbon footprint; each case study reveals how simple (and economical) her lifestyle modifications can be: shutting off a computer at night saves $55 annually, installing low-flow showerheads saves $380. Rogers groups alternatives by category, from kids and pets to transportation and holiday celebrations, and presents cost savings for each action item to help readers determine the most appropriate steps to take given their particular lifestyles and priorities. This insightful and practical book arms readers with the information and motivation they need to make virtually effortless changes with significant results. (Mar.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Saving money using this book!, April 28, 2010
This review is from: Shift Your Habit: Easy Ways to Save Money, Simplify Your Life, and Save the Planet (Paperback)
I'm always trying to save money and help the planet, but it wasn't until I read Shift Your Habit that I found really tangible ways to make it happen! I didn't realize that being more aware of my daily activity around our home could help me save so much money! I couldn't put the book down and actually finished in one night. Whenever I'm going to a friends house for dinner or a party, instead of bringing wine or a food, I bring this book. It's one of the most important gift you'll ever give someone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like finding money in your house you didn't know you had!, March 16, 2010
By 
This review is from: Shift Your Habit: Easy Ways to Save Money, Simplify Your Life, and Save the Planet (Paperback)
This book is great! I read it in one sitting and can't wait to try out some of the tips. Shift Your Habit has hundreds of easy solutions for things that might seem obvious and some that clearly aren't. But if you just start to try a few of these simple techniques around the house or at your office, you'll be saving money in NO time. And in these difficult times who doesn't want to save $$$$'s! There must be $50,000 worth of savings in here if you add them all up. I felt good knowing that I am saving money and helping the planet at the same time. I'm excited to get my kids started on a waste-free lunch - good for the earth and our wallet - and the kids feel like they're involved in something positive too. I think this book is great for the whole family. Thanks Miss Rogers. Liz Pelz

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Eco tips to save you money...., April 26, 2010
This review is from: Shift Your Habit: Easy Ways to Save Money, Simplify Your Life, and Save the Planet (Paperback)
It is amazing how well the cleaning products work. I have used some of the recipes for cleaning that I made right in my kitchen, and to my surprise they worked beautifully! I had a stain from paint on my carpet that had been dried up for 2 months. I used the carpet cleaning solution and the stain actually came out. I could not believe it! Thanks Elizabeth you did an amazing job!
