going to learn about being greener?” Fortunately, I did not say this out loud. I quickly learned that when it comes to going green, Scott is a lot smarter than I am. In fact, halfway through the conversation, I realized that Scott is a lot smarter than I am in a lot of ways.
Going Green Today is a beautiful website. More importantly, it works very well. It’s laid out well, and very professionally designed.
It starts with a lifestyle assessment survey which took me less than ten minutes. After this I was told how I could save money and significantly reduce my carbon footprint.
For $47, you get the program. The website states that you can reduce your carbon footprint by at least 35% and save up to $2,000 a year (from what I understand, you may save much more in many cases).
Was it worth it? Absolutely! I learned a lot. Some of the changes where a bit difficult to make, and some of the changes required some upfront money to implement, but there were many simple and free things anyone could do that had never occurred to me. In addition, there were some things I knew I should be doing, but hadn’t done yet. It helped that each step showed how just much I could reduce my carbon footprint.
This program got me to make so many of the changes I had been putting off or ignoring. I have not read a better book, or seen a better program for teaching someone how to live a more sustainable lifestyle with easy step- by- step instructions.
I am really very impressed with
Going Green Today; $47 is such a small price to pay. And yes, I did save money in the long run. In fact, by my calculations, this investment paid for itself within two months.
Going Green Today also makes the perfect gift for anyone you know who is either trying to lead a greener lifestyle or, like me, thinks they are already as green as they can be.

When Scott Ankeny, founder of Going Green Today, and I first spoke, I let him know I didn’t think there was much he could do for me. I figured reducing my carbon footprint anymore than I already had would be too expensive or not appropriate at this time. I told him I’d rather look at the program after I move and can afford to implement some alternative energy generators.
