It seems NSW is lagging behind in the push to go Green. The Greenpower scheme allows consumers to choose to have their electricity sourced from renewable sources such as wind, solar, water and waste, cutting greenhouse gas emissions. According to the latest Greenpower figures, Victorians and Queenslanders now lead the nation in signing up to Green Power. Queensland is second to Victoria with 64,639 Green Power customers, then NSW with 33,579, SA with 20,217, ACT with 6,363 and WA with 1,127. Why should we be going for Greenpower? Well global warming is a contentious issue with research indicating that global warming is being accelerated by the traditional burning of fossil fuels for power generation.
The scheme is definately having results, Environmental minister, John Thwaites, said Victoria now represents 38 per cent of Green Power customers nationally - and this number is rising by an average of 5,000 per month across the State. He goes on the report, "in the first 12 months of purchasing Green Power, these households will collectively cut greenhouse pollution by 117,000 tonnes each year - the equivalent of removing 27,042 cars from Victoria's roads."
So do your bit and join the Green Power.
