The easiest and
quickest way to reduce your carbon footprint...
Switching to green energy is one
of the easiest and quickest ways to reduce your carbon footprint. It
takes just 5-10 minutes and you can do it today. You can quickly and
easily start saving money on your energy bills.
Where does
renewable energy come from?
If you switch to renewable energy
it is most likely to be coming from Wind Power, or Hydroelectric
Power. Other sources include Solar Power and Wave and Tidal Energy.
There are also other largely untapped sources such as biomass,
landfill gas energy and combined heat and power (chp). It is also
possible to install Solar Water Heating and Solar Panels on to your
own house.
So how do green
energy tariffs work?
When you use electricity on a
green energy tariff, the supplying company will put energy from
renewable sources back into the National Grid.
Green energy currently costs more to produce - however some
suppliers do not charge a premium, so green electricity shouldn't
cost any more than you pay with your current supplier. In fact, if
you also transfer your gas supply to them it is likely to be
cheaper.
The more people who sign up to green energy the cheaper it will
become in the future, and remember, many suppliers are already
selling it as cheap or even cheaper than you may currently be paying
for your electricity.
