  • Going Green: Sales of solar panels is going through the roof

    The number of houses with solar panels is going through the roof – quite literally – in the UK. I installed them six years ago and haven’t looked back since. The great news is though that while the National Grid has welcomed solar energy, more consumers are looking at getting the panels for their homes. Over 1.3 million homes in the UK have solar panels and while that’s only around four percent of homes, the number of installations is increasing and the UK is now proudly among the top 12...

  • Going Green: Flood insurance is smart green thinking

    Firstly, I’m so glad to have received this question and secondly to have received it before you’ve cancelled your insurance. Please don’t cancel it. By all means, shop around and see if you can get it any cheaper but keeping flood insurance on your property – unless you live at the top of a very big hill – is vital, especially when it comes to properties that are at high risk. Right now, 20 per cent of properties across the country are at risk of flooding, with 2.4 million buildings actually...

  • Going Green

    On April 15 at 1pm, Great Britain achieved a new low carbon intensity record of 19gCO2/kWh, which is the amount of carbon pollution produced per unit of electricity generated, which has beaten the previous record which was set on April 5 of 21gCO2/kWh. Polluting fossil fuels only generated 2.4 per cent of the electricity that day – a record low and it’s a huge milestone in clean energy provision for this country and definitely something worth shouting about. In 2009, some 74 per cent of GB...

  • Going Green: Impact of so much rain has been catastrophic

    What’s more, according to their figures, 1,695.9mm of rain fell in England in the 18 months from October last year to March this year which has gone down as the highest amount of rainfall for any 18 month period since records began. Wherever you live in the UK and no matter how much you might enjoy the rain, there’s no doubting the autumn and winter of 2023 and 2024 have been a washout. While the wet weather might have ruined a few holidays, wedding days and birthday plans though, the...
