What's So Special About 2 Tonnes of CO2

2 tonnes/year is the average reduction that you can make to your CO2 footprint by switching your home to a 100% renewable energy tariff.

But what does that mean?... How big is 2 tonnes of CO2?

2 tonnes of CO2 is:
• 1/3 of the annual CO2 footprint from household energy use in the average UK home.
• Enough to fill two olympic size swimming pools.
• The same amount saved by unplugging your T.V. for 44 years.*
• The same amount emitted by the average car each winter.

By being part of the UK switch you could help reduce UK CO2 footprint by as much as 1Million tons this year alone. That’s the same amount emitted by the whole UK during one working day, or by flying the population of London to Paris.

There is capacity in the UK this year for 500’000 homes to make the switch to 100% renewable tariffs. Hitting this target will ensure that demand for renewable energy finally outstrips supply. This will ensure the investment needed to develop the additional capacity that is so essential in reducing the UK’s CO2 emissions as a whole.

  to find a green tariff that works for you.

*Assuming the T.V. is not powered from a renewable source.
