Going green is the IT thing to do now days, both personally and professionally. Because of this, if you have some green skills or training, that will give you an extra leg up in the process of finding a new job or even helping to create a new position where you are already employed! This book is great. It gives you advice on how to green up your resume and your skill palate. It also shows you the industries where green technology is really blossoming and where you can make a difference by introducing green changes into your own business if you are a business owner. Even if you do not own your own business, showing your current employer how you can save them money or make them more financially efficient by going green is sure to help your own bottom line as well as theirs. I know that this book helped me to get the courage up to make some changes at my own job. I now run a department wide recycling program and have managed to get every desk lamp switched over to CFLs. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a green job or how to green their current job. I would also recommend this book to business owners looking for ways to green their businesses. Going green will help you, the earth, and your bottom line for sure. I know it has mine!

Thanks for the thorough description of who will benefit from this book. I wasn't sure if it would help someone who already has a job. You answered my question as to whether it would be of benefit to me. Good review.
