LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwire) — 12/21/12 — Being green may be furthest thing from the minds of many as they get into their cars to hit the shops to buy gifts this Christmas, but there is a way to be green without significant effort, says provider green energy uk. Switching to green energy can make a huge difference without substantial cost or effort – reducing the carbon footprint of activities, which would provide peace of mind and a warm glow for many.
As a champion of innovation, green energy uk encourages exploring different methods of energy generation, including from sources like waste. The CEO of green energy uk, Doug Stewart, says: “Christmas can be a very wasteful time; food is plentiful and often causes a fair amount of extra waste and giving presents results in an increase of used wrapping paper and packaging for disposal. Additionally, families may be distracted by the festivities and not be as concerned or attentive to the lights they leave on throughout the home as they gather together. It can be difficult to be green at a time like this, but making the to green energy is something that can help tip the balance and lasts far beyond Christmas.”
Providing electricity from 100 per cent sustainable sources, green energy uk has the ethos: “Our Energy is Green. Our Thinking is Multi-Coloured”. It champions not only wind, solar and hydro power, but the lesser known and more innovative technologies of power generation – including drawing energy from waste sources such as pig and cow poo, used cooking oil, fruit and vegetables or wood.
Doug adds: “It would be great if people used the festive period as a time to reflect upon wider issues such as being greener – but we–re not environmentalists looking to push a tree-hugging message. We simply believe there–s an easy way for everyone to do their bit. Actually, it–s something more and more people are looking to do as recycling and buying eco cars gain in popularity. This is no different and much simpler! Our message is simple, this Christmas!”
Covering homes and businesses across the UK, green energy uk operates a customer share scheme that gives its customers a voice and opinion in the business.
