This winter, households are facing an increase in their energy bills due to the demand of the global wholesale market.
According to Trevor Sharman from Ealing Transition, the most prominent energy use is heating our homes, and travelling. If we purchased renewable energy sources from wind, solar or tidal, we would reduce our carbon footprint significantly.
The Ealing Transition initiative Trevor Sharman highlights the need for customers and shareholders in banking companies to urge greener investment practices for banks. It is essential to look at our banks and understand how they are investing our money into green energy rather than coal.
Trevor Sharman, Initiative from Ealing Transition, also says “There are two banks which claim they have an ethical investment policy, these are the Co-operative and Metro bank.”
Ealing Transition provides energy advice, and will guide Londoners to make environmentally friendly choices when choosing green energy.
