Week 16: Get turned on to green electricity...

This week I have been asked to buy green electricity.
Home energy use accounts for 25% of CO2 emissions in the UK, so anything we can do is a help.

I was amazed by www.greenelectricity.org - a very easy to use site with clear and concise verdicts on each service. It gives a selection of tariffs based on your postcode, and the range of difference for mine was £33 quarterly from £77 to £110.

As Tony, who by the way has asked me to mention that he has broken his hand* and is in a lot of pain, is the one that sorts all of these bills out I am sending him the link and he can compare with what we currently are paying.

As the 52 weeks book says you need to weigh up the pros and cons of each one, so we will get back to you on this!

* Tony was drilling a circular hole to put some lights up for my mum and the drill snagged, the guide handle was lose and is spun around and hit him on his right hand, cleanly breaking a bone! So he is in plaster for a couple of weeks, finding it hard to do his job as a computer programmer typing with his left hand and pretty much feeling sorry for himself.
