Reduce your carbon footprint with Fair Investment Company’s green alternative for energy switching

August 06, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
In response to climate change and a growing desire amongst consumers to be as ‘green’ as possible in every aspect of their lives, Fair Investment Company (http://www.fairinvestment.co.uk) is now offering an energy comparison tool which allows the customer to find a supplier that will help them to leave behind a smaller carbon footprint.

By comparing all major providers and most of the smaller ones, the new service not only means that customers can find a deal that will save them money, but also means that they can help to save the environment by choosing an energy supplier that does the most to offset their carbon emissions.

James Caldwell, director of Fair Investment Company, said: “More and more people are aware of their own role in climate change and want to do as much as possible to reduce their carbon footprint. This tool gives consumers more control over their impact on the environment, whilst also encouraging companies to provide competitive, greener energy.”

The tool displays all the providers operating in the postcode area entered into the form by the customer, so they know that the deals are both current and available; it also shows the affect of switching from one to another, with regards to the carbon footprint of each provider.
“A combination of heightened environmental awareness and concern mixed with the growth and progress of environmentally-friendly technology enables people to choose greener tariff options”, said Mr. Caldwell.
Customers can even choose to only compare companies which offer a greener alternative for the provision of gas, electricity and duel fuel, so those that do not provide such a service are omitted.

The facility is provided by UKPower, one of the longest-running comparison and switching providers in the UK, which is accredited by Energywatch and offers a quick and easy way of switching energy providers by handling all the paperwork, and giving switchers the opportunity to cancel within seven days of applying if they change their mind.
Green organisations believe that the more renewable energy resources that are used, the cheaper it will become in the future. Green energy is produced from several renewable sources, such as wind, solar, hydro and tidal power; providers of green energy help in a variety of ways, such as using renewable resources, and offsetting their emissions by investing in green organisations that plant trees and develop innovative ways of generating power.
