Go Greener Tips

With many people now considering the switch to green energy sources, the question becomes is there an advantage in choosing renewable power over traditional energy sources? Renewable power does have its advantages, and the following reasons to use this type of energy should be considered by everyone.

1. Renewable power sources are totally non-pollutant- Since renewable energy sources are natural, being derived from the sun, the wind, and water, there is no worry of any negative effects from pollution.

2. They are also non-depleting – Since there is always going to be sun, rain, and winds, power derived from theses sources will not deplete.

3. Renewable energy decreases greenhouse gases in the air by releasing less carbon emissions – Traditional energy sources such as oil, natural gas, and coal, emit harmful hydrocarbons into the air when burned. Using renewable energy sources will decrease the carbon footprint left behind by traditional energy sources.

4. The use of renewable energy cuts power costs – Alternative energy sources can help save cash on electricity. It can also save on the expense of oil or gas heat. Since the energy does not have to come from a company that is supplying the energy from their sources, as the energy will be supplied by natural sources, the savings will be passed on to the consumer.

5. Renewable power can be supplied locally, rather than imported from other countries- Instead of having to import things such as oil from countries that have an abundant supply, alternative power can be supplied locally by the use of natural energy sources.

6. Income related benefits – The UK government has provided a number of income related benefits to households who decide to switch their homes over to renewable power sources.

7. Freedom of choice – Instead of being forced to use the power company that is provided for a specific area, switching to renewable power allows people to choose from a number of suppliers.

Alternative power sources are the wave of the future, and besides being better for the environment, they can save you cash on your energy bills as well. Renewable power sources will not run out, and are something that every household should consider using in the future.

There are so many possibilities that we all can do in order to leave a lasting impression for the next generation. If you have children or grand children we all then share the same responsibilities. That’s to insure they will use what we use and to experience what we have experience.
