Save £££’s by bringing energy saving into every aspect of your life - work, travel, and day to day living. According to the Energy Saving Trust, the average household could save up to £300 a year on energy bills simply by being more energy efficient. It’s not hard to do either!

One of the easiest ways is to switch to a Green Energy Supplier or Tariff. Renewable, or 'green' electricity, accounts for just 4% of the UK’s electricity but is growing fast – even faster with your help! It doesn’t cost anymore yet comes from renewable sources such as hydroelectric, wind or solar.

Nearly all energy suppliers offer green electricity tariffs which support renewable energy. Our favourite is Ecotricity. Why? In May, this company won the world’s leading green energy award for its contribution to sustainable energy. Even Al Gore, former US Vice President and producer of the film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, was impressed! The company is investing £25 million in wind energy this year so why not power your home using wind rather than dirty fossil fuels?

Friends of the Earth ranks switching to a green energy tariff as the number one tip for fighting climate change. It’s just one click away, so what are you waiting for? Do it now!.
