Everyday things we do contribute to the global pollution and climate change issues which is having a huge impact on Planet Earth.

In order to reduce the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere we need to fully understand our personal impact on greenhouse gas emissions, allowing us to change our habits that, when combined, can make a real difference.

In addition to changing the way we live, we should also be investing in a CO2 reduction scheme, helping reduce our carbon footprint by a quarter of a Tonne.

Carbon credits are generated by supporting projects which reduce global carbon dioxide emissions these pollute the planet and are the most likely cause of climate change.

Mention anything about becoming greener and holidays in the same sentence, and people’s eyes glaze over. Sadly scientists predict that air travel alone will account for all of Britain’s CO2 emissions target by 2050.

Responsible Travel are the leading ethical travel directory with over 3000 hand picked holidays from 270 of the world’s specialist operators offering holidays that minimise cultural and environmental damage.

Since 2001, Responsibletravel.com have been handpicking holidays that make a real difference to local people and the environment. They were the first people to link up travellers and responsible operators and places to stay in this way, and still offer the largest selection of responsible holidays anywhere on the web!

To date, only 7% of us have paid anything towards minimising the impact of our travels by purchasing a tree, to help with a carbon-offsetting scheme. However as the impact of global warming becomes more apparent in years to come, the pressure will grow on us, the travelling public, to take greener holidays.

Together with their offsetting partners (including The Carbon Neutral Company) Ibuyeco make it easy for policy holders to balance the CO2 their cars produce by investing money to projects which save the equivalent amount of CO2 elsewhere.

For every 1kg of CO2 produced by their cars each year Ibuyeco will pay for 1kg to be saved by a climate friendly project somewhere else in the world - one balancing the other to make your driving carbon neutral!

The offset continues for the duration of the car insurance policy, based on the information supplied to them, making Green Car Insurance a real alternative. You’ll get that warm fuzzy feeling you get inside from knowing you’re doing your bit to help fight climate change.

The psychology behind energy saving meters is simple. If you can see how much money you save by turning off an unused light, you will switch it off.

The Efergy energy meter monitors energy consumption and can put it into a monetary value for you meaning you can see in real time how much you are spending as you do your washing or put the kettle on.

The energy monitor shows your usage in kW, cost per hour (shown in £, $ or €) and kg CO2 emissions. This energy meter is great for use in the home and office as well as a tool to educate how much energy we actually use.

Introducing the Moon Light…

Waking in the dark in an unfamiliar room can be alarming for children and disorientating for adults. The Moonlight plug uses NASA space technology developed to illuminate cockpit panels to give a restful, soft blue/green light, making rooms feel safer at night.

This slim energy saving unit will run continuously for less than 50p per year. The electro-luminescent bulb-free panel is cool to touch and ideal for night lighting in bedrooms, hallways, corridors at home or on holiday.
