CO2 reduction in practice
Energy

sun Also by "buying" clean energy consumers can contribute to the conservation of nature.

The Dutch energy distribution companies offer their customers a choice between traditional electricity, generated by means of fossil fuels, and "green electricity" generated by, for instance, wind or solar energy. Green electricity is also offered by English and German energy companies.

Green Electricity is slightly more expensive but the additional proceeds are invested in new, clean energy projects. This is supervised by the WWF that also checks if no more "green electricity" is sold than has been generated.

Meanwhile tens of thousands of private persons in the Netherlands and in Germany and the United Kingdom are already buying green electricity. More and more large companies and government institutions already have also made this choice for nature.
