# Yahoo News Featuring The Green Living Guy - Link: https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/09/yahoo-news-featuring-the-green-living-guy/ - Published: 2025-09-05T18:46:44-04:00 - Author: greenlivingguy ## I’m Featured in Yahoo News for My New Green Living Guy Graphic Novel and Coloring Book Today I’m sharing something I’m both proud and excited about—my latest work, The Green Living Guy graphic novel and coloring book, has been covered in [Yahoo News via PR Newswire](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/environmental-consultant-releases-green-living-142900988.html). This recognition means a lot because it shows how sustainability storytelling can reach a wider audience and inspire new conversations about the environment. ## Why This Coverage Matters Getting covered by Yahoo News is more than just a headline for me. It’s validation that green living stories resonate outside of environmental circles. Sustainability isn’t a niche anymore—it’s mainstream, and people are hungry for creative ways to engage with it. This article highlights not just my book but also the bigger mission I’ve been working on for years: using creative [media to make sustainable](https://greenlivingguy.com/2007/03/media-lab-making-citycar/) choices relatable, educational, and fun. I’ve written ten books on sustainability, including Green Lighting and [Build Your Own Electric Vehicle](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/09/amg-electric-sls-vs-porsche-taycan-showdown/), but this project brings something different. It merges art, storytelling, and activism into one colorful package. ![Yahoo news logo featuring bold text in purple with an exclamation mark](https:// i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/F2910CC9-BE9D-4FDE-8532- D328F4977EFE-1-400x400.png?resize=400%2C400&ssl=1 "F2910CC9-BE9D-4FDE-8532-D328F4977EFE- The Green Living Guy") ### The Book: A Different Kind of Eco-Education The [Green Living Guy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/08/the-green-living-guy-book-tour-kick-off-to-abcnews-com-msnbc-com-about-diy-home-energy-audits/) graphic novel and coloring book is designed to capture imagination while educating readers of all ages about sustainable living. Think of it as a blend of superhero adventure, eco-facts, and interactive creativity. Unlike traditional books, this one invites you to participate—literally. You can color the pages, bring characters to life, and make the story your own. It’s hands- on sustainability education, and that makes it memorable. As I shared in the [PR Newswire feature](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/environmental-consultant-releases-green-living-142900988.html), the book is not just about entertainment; it’s about empowerment. Kids, students, and even adults can [learn about renewable energy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/06/5-big-brands-using-renewable-energy-what-small-businesses-can-learn/), recycling, electric vehicles, and green design in a format that’s approachable and fun. ![Cover of &aposthe green living guy&apos graphic novel featuring a superhero in a green costume with environmental themes in the background including renewable energy and eco friendly elements](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/ uploads/2025/09/IMG_6867.jpeg?resize=306%2C400&quality=52&ssl=1 "Screenshot - The Green Living Guy") Cover of The Green Living Guy graphic novel highlighting themes of sustainability and creativity ### Why a Graphic Novel and Coloring Book? Some people have asked me: “Why not just write another guidebook?” The answer is simple. Sustainability is too important to limit to technical manuals or long policy discussions. Storytelling sticks. Characters like Athena the Owl and Hannah the Fox guide readers through environmental challenges in a way that’s engaging and lighthearted. At the same time, the graphic novel format allows me to introduce real solutions—solar energy, electric transportation, [sustainable food systems—in a way](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/08/shop-bulk-foods-the-sustainable-way-to-save-on-groceries/) that doesn’t overwhelm. Coloring books also have an important role in mindfulness and learning. By coloring, people engage with the material more deeply. It becomes personal, almost meditative, while reinforcing the key lessons. ### Building on a Legacy of Green Work This book is an extension of everything I’ve done throughout my career. From consulting on [energy efficiency projects](https://greenlivingguy.com/2012/07/nyserda-expands-multifamily-building-incentive-program-easier-energy-efficiency-projects/) to speaking at schools and conferences, my mission has always been to help people live greener lives. My earlier books like [Green Lighting and Build](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/09/sustainable-materials-for-eco-friendly-renovations/) Your Own Electric Vehicle gave readers technical roadmaps. Now, this new format reaches people emotionally and visually. The [Yahoo News coverage](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/environmental-consultant-releases-green-living-142900988.html) connects my work to a larger platform. It’s proof that there’s a broad audience for sustainability content when it’s packaged creatively. ![A black and white comic style illustration depicting a superhero character giving a presentation to a group of children The superhero stands next to a vehicle explaining details shown on a screen behind them Various expressions of interest are visible on the children&aposs faces](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2025/09/Page-31.png?resize=270%2C400&quality=50&ssl=1 "Page 31 - The Green Living Guy") An illustration from The Green Living Guy graphic novel showcasing a character engaged in a sustainable vehicle presentation to a group of enthusiastic young learners ### Inspiring the Next Generation I’m especially proud that this project resonates with kids and young adults. Many schools and educational programs are already looking at ways to bring The [Green Living Guy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2005/05/pev-article-in-the-ny-times-that-the-green-living-guy-was-referenced/) into classrooms. Teachers are telling me it’s a resource they can use to make lessons about the environment more interactive. We’re living in a time when the climate crisis can feel overwhelming. Students know the challenges are real, but they need positive and empowering narratives. That’s what this [book provides—stories where green](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/01/green-living-guy-donating-green-guru-guide-books-to-orlando-science-middle-high-school/) choices make a difference, where eco-heroes inspire real change. ### Beyond the Book: A Movement This isn’t just about one graphic novel. It’s part of a bigger movement to use creativity, media, and storytelling to spark climate solutions. From TV segments to speaking tours, I’m weaving together [projects that make sustainability](https://greenlivingguy.com/2017/11/margot-robbie-takes-the-wheel-for-new-nissan-sustainability-projects-at-nissan-futures-3-0/) relatable for everyone. The Yahoo coverage amplifies that mission. It draws attention to how art and storytelling can fuel climate action. I believe the more people see sustainability presented in ways that are exciting and approachable, the more likely they are to adopt [green practices in their own lives](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/02/green-living-practices-that-can-lead-to-a-healthier-lifestyle/). ### Gratitude and Next Steps I’m grateful to PR [Newswire and Yahoo News](https://greenlivingguy.com/2015/03/pr-newswire-awarded-green-living-guy-one-of-top-news-sites/) for spotlighting this project. Every bit of visibility helps spread the message that living sustainably isn’t just possible—it’s enjoyable. My next steps are already in motion. I’ll continue bringing this book into schools, libraries, and community events. I’ll expand partnerships with [organizations that want to support sustainability](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/09/clean-ingredient-cleaners-for-eco-conscious-living/) education. And I’ll keep pushing the message that creativity and environmental action go hand in hand. [Being featured](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/environmental-consultant-releases-green-living-142900988.html) in Yahoo News is a milestone, but it’s also fuel to keep going. The real work is getting these ideas into as many hands as possible. Whether it’s through books, classrooms, media, or community programs, my goal remains the same: inspire people to live greener lives and have fun doing it. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/df91669667126e1290c21ee0342c386e2da19d588d4d9ca6560bd82ed59a9641? s=300&d=monsterid&r=g) greenlivingguy The Green Living Guy, Seth Leitman is an independent power producer, a green living expert, and Editor of the McGraw-Hill, TAB Green Guru Guides.
