greenpower vs purchasing carbon offsets
GreenPower products allow households to buy a proportion of their energy as renewable energy. An alternative to GreenPower is to buy carbon credits that allow you to offset your carbon emissions and run a carbon neutral home. Learn more about the GreenPower accreditation scheme and how it works.
buying carbon offsets
A number of different organisations offer Australians the opportunity to reduce their impact on climate change by offsetting their greenhouse gas emissions. The system is very easy, does not require you to change from your current electricity supplier or purchase a GreenPower plan and you don't have to lock yourself into a contract.
We have provided a list of carbon credit organisations below. Remember, every little bit counts.
