Being a Green Cheapskate isn't just about saving money; it's about living lighter on the Earth and sharing more with those in need. From frugal tricks to thrifty planning, cheap is cool and ultra-green.
Jeff Yeager ran national nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C., for 25 years before becoming a writer. He is the author of The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches and UltimateCheapskate.com and occasionally appears on the NBC Today Show and the new Planet Green network as a contributing correspondent.
