Eco Switch in an environmental portal of news, articles, how to guides and independent comparisons.
We take the environment seriously and have an ethical approach to business. Please read our Green and Ethical Policy here.
Whether you are an individual or a business, you can learn a lot about the environmental issues of today in the sections above. If you would like to contribute content we'd be pleased to hear from you.
Independent Comparisons
If you want independent comparisons of green energy tariffs, you can now find them in our Green Energy section. We are not just comparing energy companies by price. We go one step further and expose their green credentials. The Greenest Energy suppliers are Ecotricity, Good Energy and Green Energy. Take a look at the Fuel Mix Table within the comparison section.
In the future, you will find other comparisons of products and services as well. We hope you find them useful.
Taking Action to fight Climate Change
We recognise that information on this site, by itself, is useless. It needs each one of us to then take action to create the change we need. Let's not wait for government's to act. Hundreds of thousands of people are already switching to Greener Energy tariffs and we urge you to join in. Have a look at the prices - 100% Renewable tariffs only have a slight price premium and blended tariffs will price match your Regional Supplier's standard tariff.
Change your source of energy to Renewable - Switch for free today.
We strongly encourage you to reduce your Carbon Footprint by up to 33% by switching to one of the green independent electricity specialists - Ecotricity, Good Energy or Green Energy. You have to pay your energy bill to someone, so why not pay it to the people that are investing your money into sustainable sources of energy? Switch here.
Tree Planting
When you switch with us, we will plant TWO TREES to help absorb excess CO2. The Kyoto Protocol and NASA accept that each tree will absorb approximately 1 ton of CO2 per person in their lifetime.
If you want to know how many trees you need to plant to absorb your annual average CO2 emissions, you can search by your country with our Tree Planting calculator (click on the link and see bottom of the page). All data is sourced from the United Nations Statistics division.
If you want more information on our Tree Planting program click here.
To purchase more trees, you can do so here. As a guide, the typical US citizen needs to plant 18 trees per year to offset their emissions or 10 per year if you live in the UK.
Birthdays and Gifts
Purchasing trees can make unusual but meaningful presents for birthdays and Christmas, so we welcome your support to this worthwhile project.
Your feedback on how we may serve you better is important. Feel free to e-mail us anytime - enquiries [at] ecoswitch [dot] com.
