Big Launch Celebration 17th April

Switching to a Renewable Energy Supplier

We should all be carrying out measures to reduce our energy needs, through insulation , changing to low energy light bulbs, switching off equipment not in use etc. - It saves money, energy and CO2 emissions. By switching to a renewable supplier we can immediately reduce our carbon emissions , increase our resilience to changes in fossil fuel prices and directly affect how energy is produced.

According to government figures, about 27% of CO2 emmissions come from the generation of electricity for residential use . The price of electricity and gas is closely linked to the price of oil (Oil Depletion Analysis Centre see "Preparing for Peak Oil:Local Authorities and the Energy Crisis" report p 4-5).

Transition City Lancaster currently has an affinity arrangement with Ecotricity and will shortly have a similar arrangement with Good Energy. Thier details will be equally available for your information and choice when I have them

We'd simply like to encourage everyone to vote with your energy bill for increased renewables supply.
