Without electricity, our lives would be much less comfortable. Some people do go ‘off grid’ in order to reduce their personal contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, but such lifestyles are never going to be sold to the masses.
For those of us who don’t want to live in a corrugated iron shack on the fringes of society, our conscience can be salved by the rise of clean power generation, whether from the mainstream companies or their smaller competitors.
Ecotricity provides 100% green electricity and carbon-neutral green gas for your home. It uses money from your energy bills to create a greener Britain by investing in new sources of green energy. Developing sustainable projects to make a genuine difference, including building windmills and sunmills across Britain, Ecotricity is officially an animal-free electricity supplier, the only electricity company in the UK registered with The Vegan Society.
Alternative green energy companies for the home include Pure Planet, Good Energy, Bulb and Octopus.
Meanwhile, there is a need to increase the recognition of home energy efficiency as a vital tool for tackling climate change. If every household in the UK got a smart meter, 11% of the government’s 2050 zero carbon emissions target would be satisfied. Every household in Britain will be offered a smart meter by 2020, regardless of whether you are a homeowner, rent, or have a prepay meter.
The #MissingPiece campaign wants to promote smart meters as the missing piece in the climate fight jigsaw puzzle. The campaign is the brainchild of Smart Energy GB, the University of Salford, the Energy Saving Trust, and is fronted by Chris Packham.
