September 2021: EcoChallege - “Switch to Green Energy”

An easy but significant step you can make in the fight against climate change is to switch to a renewable electricity tariff. It means that for every kilowatt of electricity you use, your supplier will commit to buying the equivalent amount of energy from renewable sources. It’s a powerful way you can promote the development of green energy sources using the money you spend on your electricity bill.

A lot of renewable tariffs are now very competitively priced, so you might even find that switching can save you money! The electricity supply at the church buildings at the Woodlands group of churches has been on a renewable tariff for some years now.

If you’re interested in finding out more it’s worth reading this article from Which explaining how some renewable tariffs are greener than others.
You can also try using the Big Clean Switch price comparison website which vets the providers it lists for their green credentials.
