A practical Guide for Your Own Green Business Revolution
Highly recommend the Glenn`s 75 Green Businesses book.
My motivation comes from the fact that the book is well planed and deliver a pretty clear guidance for those looking for starting a business at the Green side. For those who are at the Green Idea brainstorm phase for a new business or revamp its currently one, I truthfully believe that 75 GB can be your bible in discovering what you really can/want to do inside of this area.
Hopes it helps your decision on buying / reading it.
Thank you
 Green Home Consultant
I tell everyone who listens that they need to join the booming Green Economy. The issue is if you have the capital to really pursue some of the ideas listed in the book. One I didn't see on the list is being a "Green Home Consultant" which is a rapidly growing field with little investment of capital for the Eco-Consultant.

Great Variety of Green Jobs
75 Green Businesses You Can Start to Make Money and Make a Difference, by Glenn Cruston, is a terrific guide to get you started in a green career.
The 75 businesses are divided into 11 larger segments, like "Fueling Green Energy", "Finding Business Solutions in the Living World," and "Green Farms."
The reader is encouraged to view the 75 careers as a starting point, and Cruston encourages mixing and matching them and thinking creatively about more opportunities. This makes a lot of sense, as we are in the infancy of the green movement, and many other green work choices will soon develop.
For each career opportunity, Cruston provides information on what the market need is for the service/product, the mission, any special challenges, what education is required to do the job, the capital required, the timing, resources and examples of actual businesses.
Here are some examples of green businesses:
* small wind-turbine installer
* Green chief sustainability officer
* Philanthropy management
* Building green homes and businesses
* fab green prefabs
* Green building certification
* Paperless office consultant
* Sell or manufacture reusable shopping totes
* Eco-friendly and healthy fast food
* Home food safety testing kits
* Green bed & breakfast
* Green car dealership
* Gas free gardening
* Green cafes
This book is loaded with great real life examples of green businesses and includes lots of resources. As Cruston notes, these 75 job opportunities are just the beginning. A careful reading of the book can motivate and be a great starting point for a successful green entrepreneurial career.
Highly recommend.
