We believe that there is so much that individuals can do to make a positive difference to the impacts of Climate Change. Here we offer you some ideas on how you can reduce your carbon footprint.

Five steps to a lower carbon life

1. Switch to 100% renewable electricity from Good Energy: switching to clean, green electricity couldn’t be simpler. Further information can be found at www.good-energy.co.uk or call 0845 456 1640.
2. Reduce the amount of energy you use: through a number of simple steps it is easy to reduce your electricity consumption by up to 30%.  Fit energy efficient bulbs, insulate your home, don’t overfill your kettle are some ideas that will have an immediate impact.  Further tips are available at http://www.good-energy.co.uk/energy_saving_tips
3. Install your own renewable generation in your home: solar panels, hydro schemes and wind turbines are technologies that can be used to generate your own electricity. Good Energy will pay you for all the electricity that you generate, including those units you use on site. Further information can be found at http://www.good-energy.co.uk/home_generation
4. Invest in a larger renewable generation site: there are growing opportunities to help build renewable generation in the UK through direct investment. The Good Energy Group is a UK company that only makes investments in renewable generation in the UK. For further information contact goodenergygroup@good-energy.co.uk.
5. Reduce the amount you use your car: a third of the UK’s carbon emissions are caused by transportation. You can make a difference by buying locally produced goods, holidaying in the UK and dusting off your bike and heading out on the many new cycle paths that have recently been created.
