Natural Power

For anyone thats seen the Inconvenient Truth and is motivated to make some changes, what about switching your power bill to natural (wind and solar) energy? Basically the bill goes up by 3c a unit, but the amount your pay all up (your whole bill) is guaranteed to source that much extra green energy going into the grid, and less coal energy is then used to fulfill our power requirements. This is a good way to start cutting personal greenhouse emmisions, basically by adding a few dollars onto yr power bill every month.

Have a look at it here and in more detail in this PDF (shows the extra cost you can roughly expect on yr bill).

To sign up, ring them on 13 13 53 (press 5 when the recorded message starts asking you to choose an option), and tell the telephonist that you want 100% Natural Power (there is also Earth Friendly as another, slightly cheaper enviro option, but this still uses coal power, but offsets the emmisions with green projects.). This is for Perth people only obviously, but there are similiar options around OZ.

We've been on full Green power for 2-3 months now... bills are a bit more expensive but if you can afford it, DO IT! If enough people get on it it may add weight to the push to research and develop mo' mo' good power!
