Green Energy Schemes

One of the easiest things to do is to switch to a Green Energy scheme which supports the generation of power from renewables and helps cut back on fossil fuel emissions. At the same time conservation and wildlife benefits directly from land purchases in the UK and other projects to offset the effects of global warming.
