How To Buy It
Not only does co2balance promote the conservation of energy, the use of carbon balanced products and services, and the planting of trees to offset any unavoidable CO2 emissions, we also encourage homes and businesses to buy their electricity from renewable energy sources that produce electricity without releasing CO2 into the air (see the other links under this tab to understand renewable energy sources further).
Not many people realise that we can now all choose who supplies our electricity, and therefore how it’s made, so wherever you live in the country you can actually choose to have your home or business supplied by clean energy. Switching takes about five minutes but it’s the biggest single step you can take to reduce your emissions and protect the environment.
There are a number of companies that co2balance support.
Good Energy
Did you know that you could cut your household CO2 emissions by up to a third by simply signing up to Good Energy’s 100% renewable electricity supply? That’s because the average UK household emits 6 tonnes of CO2 a year and the average Good Energy customer saves 2 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year, which is the equivalent of not driving 5,000 miles in a petrol car.1
Good Energy only supplies 100% renewable electricity, which is generated by clean and sustainable sources - wind, small scale hydroelectric and solar power and its available to homes and businesses in England, Scotland and Wales.
Good Energy is recommended by both the Good Shopping Guide and Friends of the Earth and verifies its 100% claims with an annual green audit carried out by an independent firm of chartered accountants.
In addition, Good Energy supports micro-generators with its Home Generation scheme, which pays people for all the electricity they generate from small renewable generators including those units they use on site.

Ecotricity
They take the money their customers spend on electricity and invest it in clean forms of power like wind energy. They are the only green electricity company actually building these new renewable energy sources.
