This type energy is very nice because i also used.’The poll included 1,017 people, and found that 46% of them would “switch
to a new electricity company if they could get energy that was more
environmentally friendly at a comparable price.’And you can check it website. http://www.saturatedgas.com

This is worse than it sounds, the questions if it cost no more than you current dirty option would you switch to a clean option? 11% said no, clean has to be cheaper than dirty. And 43% said, I can’t think.

This wasn’t switch if it is 1%, 5%,10%, 20% more, it is if it cost the same!

I’ve already switched energy suppliers a couple of times since I’ve been living in London. My current supplier is called Loco2 and there is a small premium for getting ALL electricity from hydro. I ended up signing up for that. Signed a piece of paper and now the household is polluting a bit less.

You say ‘The switchover to a green electricity supply is probably the most important thing that an individual consumer can do to cut down on the carbon emissions that she or he is responsible for causing.’ but I think that is ignoring an even bigger cause that we personally have the power to change…

What you eat has a massive effect on your carbon footprint, and yet most people don’t know (or prefer to ignore it). My carbon footprint for 2012 was 18x less than the average American (and only half of the carbon footprint which is considered sustainable) and 12x less than the average European, which is not possible without taking action regarding our food choices.
