Climate Rally Near You – Sunday Nov 29th 2015
Events took place as scheduled and here are Photographs of the London Rally.
Original Post
It looks as if the mass Climate Rally in Paris will be impossible due to continued security issues. It is all the more important that people attend local rallies and show the world governments of our concern prior to the Paris conference. You can find an event near you, using the link below.

The Paris conference may be the last chance to effect change whilst we can.
Our views do count. Trends create political and business plans. These plans determine the future.
Therefore another useful endeavour, that also shows a trend, is the use of your consumer power. Eventually consumer power is likely to have the greatest beneficial effect. An initial guide to switching energy suppliers or tariff can be found here (UK, USA, Australia, Canada).
Good luck with all your endeavours to protect this amazing planet. 🙂
Climate Change – Divest/Invest Movement Rolls On – We can Help
Divest – Invest and Climate Protection
The Divest-Invest ⇒ movement is being successful in encouraging large groups to divest themselves of fossil fuel investments and switch to investments in green alternatives.
That is only part of the battle.
Consumerism and Climate Protection
For most of us, every time we pay an energy bill we are supporting the use of fossil fuels. As long as that continues, the energy companies will continue to make profit and continue the practice. Even carbon taxes will eventually filter through to the consumer.
As far as electrical supply is concerned, we don’t have to continue that support. Instead we can move our financial support to a Green Tariff or an entirely Green Energy supplier (some also provide a dual + gas tariff). Moving our money from polluting suppliers to green suppliers being of double benefit.
There is an additional and important benefit. Consumer choices are observable trends which result in forecasts and forecasts create business plans. It will make a yet greater impact if you if you let people know what you have done, and why, as an encouragement for them to follow and more still if you tell your old and new supplier why you have switched.
Here are some links to advisory sites, from which a choice can be made, but do check they are certified genuine green suppliers.
UK – Ratings – http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/buyersguides/energy/greenelectricitysuppliers.aspx
UK – Price comparisons – http://www.ukpower.co.uk/home_energy/green_energy_suppliers
USA – http://apps3.eere.energy.gov/greenpower/buying/buying_power.shtml
Australia – http://gpap.greenelectricityguide.org.au (You can skip the sign up – last line)
Canada – There are several companies but I could not find an up to date guide.
The above is just an example. Other countries also have green energy suppliers but difficult to find in English.
Energy supplies are likely to increase in cost. Heating being the greatest user of power, it makes sense to invest in insulation.
Good wishes to all in your pursuit of protecting our climate for ourselves, those who follow us and everything that lives on this extraordinary garden planet.
