Green Energy

As the world focuses in on the post-Kyoto framework in Bali (nice summary here) - it prompted me to get off my butt and look at green energy options.

If like me you hate trawling company websites or ringing round then trying to sift out how much of what they have told you is marketing gumph and how much is really true - it's great to find out places who have done the leg work for you.

First things first, make sure it is on the GreenPower accreditation list. These products are endorsed by a collection of state governments that manage the GreenPower program.

But if you're lazy like me - you'll love the Green Electricity Watch site. It gives you rating for how 'green' the product actually is and how much it will cost.

It's a good question to ask ourselves - what price do you put on preventing human induced climate change destroying our children's future?
