There is no doubt that Climate Change is happening, or that it’s caused by human beings. This is because we are using so much fossil fuel energy – coal, oil and gas – for our electricity, our transport, heating our homes and for making all the goods that we buy.

The undesirable by-product of burning fossil fuels is Carbon Dioxide, which is causing the world’s temperature to rise, with devastating results.

As energy consumption rises, the problem becomes more and more serious; and the only real hope for the future is to reduce our use of fossil fuel energy. This is not as impossible as it might sound, and it needn’t cost the earth; but it will require effort from everyone.

This website is designed to help you find ways to reduce your energy consumption, so you’ll be able to save money and play your part in avoiding climate change.
