It\u2019s all well and good to think going green is the way forward but in order for you to maintain this more new way of life, some advice may be in order.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Change to a more Sustainable Energy Tariff<\/h3>\n<p>Going the whole hog and investing in renewable energy resources such as solar power may sound like the right way to go, but unless you have the funding behind you, such ventures can be more of a pipedream than anything else. For eg. if with BG consider this to be a long term goal and in the meantime, re-evaluate your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishgas.co.uk\/products-and-services\/gas-and-electricity.html\" target=\"_blank\">British Gas electricity<\/a>\u00a0and opt for a British Gas sustainable energy alternative.<\/p>\n<p>This new tariff matches each unit of electricity you buy with a unit of 100% British renewable energy, meaning that they will give back to the environment by putting energy into the grid that has been obtained from renewable sources such as wind farms. Plus, you will be able to choose an energy saving gadget as part of the switchover, such as an electricity monitor, water widget or eco kettle.<\/p>\n<h3>Reduce your Energy Consumption<\/h3>\n<p>This will require a little hard work on your part and a lot of compromise if you\u2019re used to consuming energy in your home without a second thought. It\u2019s easy to forget the impact that energy like gas and electricity has on the environment so you\u2019d be forgiven in not thinking about the consequences. It\u2019s never too late to change your habits though and even the simplest of things can massively help in your quest towards being green while also saving you money on your energy usage.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- HEA blog 300x250 --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2370067811734011\"data-ad-slot=\"5331067377\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/div>\n<p>Turn lights off when not in use, switch electrical equipment off at the mains and reduce your thermostat by 1 degree \u2013 they sound simple, don\u2019t they?
