Here are a few of the organisations that we admire.
We put savings into Triodos Bank. Its motives are as decent as one can find: it loans ONLY to organisations and companies that it considers to be making a positive contribution to the planet and the community, and funds this by paying a slightly lower rate of interest on savings.
We’re powered by Good Energy , the UK’s 100% renewable electricity supplier. All of their electricity is generated using natural power from the wind, water and sun or through sustainable biogeneration. The average UK domestic electricity user is responsible for releasing around 1.8 tonnes of C02 into the atmosphere every year, so switching to their supply is an easy way to significantly cut your carbon footprint.
The employees at the Phone Co-op are genuinely committed to the co-operative ideal and have succeeded both in promoting it AND providing superb service at a low price. That is an unusual achievement.
What Green Car is a newly launched website that gives the low-down on each of the hybrid, dual-fuel and electric cars on the market, and allows you to compare the carbon emissions for each.
Tourism Concern is a a fantastic small UK charity working to raise awareness of the damaging aspects of global tourism, and to promote new truly sustainable tourism projects around the world.
Man In Seat 61 is the oracle for train travel around the world. Want to get from Paris to Bucharest by rail? Man in Seat 61 can tell you how.
We have used ethical insurance company Naturesave for years. They make major contributions to charities and interesting ethical projects, including our soon-to-be-launched Canopy & Stars project.
