Change to renewable energies
Get GreenPower.
One of the simplest ways you can make a difference is by choosing GreenPower on your electricity bill. The few cents extra you pay in addition to your electricity account each day is invested in the renewable energy sector. GreenPower is accredited renewable energy. Renewable energy is generated from sources like mini hydro, wind power and biomass which produce no net greenhouse gas emissions. >> more

Identify ways that you can green your home and lifestyle, from saving energy and water to cutting down on waste.
Choose energy efficient appliances and technologies like solar hot water, energy efficient fridges and washing machines, and turn power off whenever you can so you are not unnecessarily burning fuel. The Australian Conservation Foundation's GreenHome program helps people help the environment by making simple changes to the way we live. >> more
Change over to renewable energies in whatever way you can - be a leader yourself and set the example.
Think about your behaviors and make small changes wherever you can. The best predictor of whether people will buy solar hot water is how many other people they know have already done it. Be the leader of the pack.
