75 Green Businesses You Can Start to Make Money and Make a Difference
by Glenn Croston

Buy this book!

RATING: Chief sustainability officer. Ecotourism travel guide. Natural detox specialist. These are some of the new and exciting careers that can be available to you after reading 75 Green Businesses You Can Start to Make Money and Make a Difference by Glenn Croston, Ph.D. All for only $19.95!

If that introduction sounds a bit like one of those Sally Struthers commercials from the 1980s for mail-order college training, it’s only to poke good-natured fun at what is actually an impressively wide array of careers and business opportunities in what the author identifies as a $200-billion industry.

Croston writes his manual a bit like the popular “For Dummies” series of instructional tomes, with plenty of bullet points, graphs and sidebars to make the information as digestible as possible. Which is a good thing, at least in this case, because Croston’s book is seemingly meant as—and modestly succeeds at being—an easily accessible quasi-reference manual that can motivate those new to sustainability and its strictures or market opportunities a helpful lay of the land.
