Take part!
Help us to show green energy works by taking part in our campaign. There are lots of things you can do, from the personal to the political.
Help us ask for more
We aim to prove that the people of the UK want more investment in green energy.
Taking part in existing schemes to promote renewables need not be just a goodwill gesture.
If enough of us join in, we can 'beat the system' and send a powerful political message that can't be ignored.
- If enough people sign up to green electricity tariffs we can force investment in more renewable technology.
Ask for more by signing up for green electricity
A 'critical mass' of subscribers to renewable electricity tariffs is needed and we want you to help this crucial point to be reached.
The truth is that hardly any new investment in renewable technology currently results from the thousands of people signed up to green electricity tariffs.
We want millions of households and businesses signed up to green electricity - not so they can feel good about themselves, but to send a strong message that we want our money invested in green energy not nuclear power.

Tell your friends to ask for more
There are already hundreds of thousands of households signed up to green energy.
This means that, if every household already on green energy persuaded just 10 others to join them, we would make our target easily.
Tell your boss to ask for more
You can also help the campaign by asking your workplace to sign up to green energy.
Even if you work for a big company, send a friendly letter to the head of your company setting out what a great move this would be for the business.
If the electricity is generated from new renewables the company won't have to pay the Climate Change Levy, which will save money. Of course it is also a great PR boost.
Tell your boss how simple energy-saving measures, such as turning off computers and lights at night can help save even more money, and how the company could also qualify for a grant to help generate its own electricity.
Ask for more by applying for a green energy grant
The government has various small schemes providing grants for households to install green energy on their homes, but these run out very quickly. Make sure demand stays high by signing up for these if your home is suitable.
Your local authority may also be able to provide some help. Get your own green energy and show politicians there is stong demand, so they will fund these schemes better in future.

Persuade and inform on future energy policy
Politicians are elected to represent your views. Write, email or visit your MP or councillor and ask them to support green energy.
Ask your MP to vote in favour of bills in Parliament supporting energy saving and renewable energy investment, and to commit to voting against new nuclear power stations.
Ask your local council to make green energy a priority.
Bring your local community together to discuss how to beat climate change and ensure the lights stay on by organising a public meeting, or find out if your local Green Party is already organising one.
Make your views known
Contribute to polls, web discussions and phone-ins being conducted on this issue.
A survey conducted before the European Elections showed that Green voters were the least likely to call a radio phone-in but, with our ideas to solve two of the most important crises of our time, we shouldn't be shy - get calling!
Take action at home
Simple energy-saving solutions can make a huge difference to your bills, and help the UK to reduce carbon emissions, even before you switch to green energy and think about generating your own.
