I think most people try to be more sustainable, but realistically there limits to what we can achieve with what we have at our disposal (great word to use here lol)
The biggest way we can be more sustainable comes with clean(er) energy, but the big boys won’t be looking at this seriously until they’ve rinsed every natural resource from the planet first.
When we get cleaner energy, from wind farms etc. we know it is much cheaper to be produced as we have already paid for the materials, plants etc. through our green taxes. Will it be given to us cheaper? Will it fuck.
I moved to Bulb a year ago from Eon as I wanted to move to a completely renewable company. I could have fixed in with Eon for 2 years at roughly the same price I had been paying at the time (£115 a month). Bulb only have one tariff - a variable tariff - my bills are now £280 a month and will be going up further in October.
I have just taken this from the Bulb webpage:
“Every year, like all suppliers, we report on the amount of electricity we’ve purchased from which source: coal, gas, nuclear and renewables. For Bulb, it’s simple: 100% of our electricity comes from renewable sources like solar, wind and hydro.”
Yet it costs the same as the energy that comes from non-renewable sources. A scam.
