Green Power Directory

Saturday, 08 September 2007

Corpobligation: We will be preparing a directory of Green Power Providers / Offsets over the coming months. Stay Tuned!


Urban living requires electricity and if we continue with urban living, We need green power.sandcastle.jpg

Green power offsets are a solution for those of us without the land or money to build windfarms or buy solar panels. What kind of alternative power is greenest? Is there any such thing as sustainable eletrical production? These are interesting questions that I will leave for another day. Here, the discussion is more practical: How can I and you use greener power in our homes or businesses?

Where is the corporate obligation: corporations like the rest of us face a hugely important choice around power options. Those who adapt now may be able to survive and make money from green power investments; those who don't may be washed away...

 

 

 

Green Options

  1. Reduce - efficiency is key here, do you need all of those lights on? Are you keeping the good weather in and the bad out?
  2. Reuse / Recycle - Some communities and businesses already recycle heat and waste products (methane) to produce more electricity and thus save money and waste!

So assuming you have done all of these things, how about an offset
