The average UK citizen is responsible for releasing 10 tonnes of CO2 into our environment every year.
Cars - commuting 20 miles each way to work will cause around 4 tonnes of C02 to be emitted annually. According to DEFRA, car use for food shopping costs the UK more than £3.5
billion per year from pollution, noise, accidents and congestion. If you need to use a car, buy one that is as energy efficient as you can afford and use it as little as possible. Find out about the Go Green Car Pass that helps to fund renewable energy projects.
Homes - on average our homes & the way we live in them are the biggest contributors to our global footprint and the amount of CO2 we produce each year.
Find a renewable energy supplier Our Blog lists a few. Turn things off when you're not using them. Turn your thermostat down by one or two degrees. You can save money and around 1 tonne of C0
2 emissions annually just by taking these easy steps. Find out about the Go Green Home Pass and help fund renewable energy projects that really do make a difference.

About GoGreen
GoGreen was developed in May 2006 by a driver of a gas guzzling, air polluting, climate changing 2.4 litre car.
After owning the aforementioned car for two years our car driver was ready to exchange his vehicle and started researching many cars. He looked at size, price, safety, fuel economy & running costs (oh & gadgets!). In the process of doing this one car kept coming up and it met all of the criteria.
Not only did it meet the size & safety requirements it was in the price range was very economic & had tons of gadgets. Our man was very pleased with himself. Then he realised it wasn't a proper car; it was one of these hybrid things. His heart sank as he realised he was going to have to start his research again.
Feeling sorry for himself he told his wise wife of his dilemma. She cooed sympathetically and made a suggestion. "Why not take this hybrid car for a test drive? You wont really know until then"
So not being one to ignore his wife he went to the nearest dealer and arranged a test drive. The dealer confirmed all of the great points about the car and then told our gentleman that it had very low CO2 emissions for a car.
"CO2" said our man. "Yes,” replied the dealer "The stuff that is contributing to global warming". "Ah yes" continued our man trying to sound as knowledgeable & impressed as possible.
After a successful test drive. (He realised as soon as he drove the hybrid that it was just like a normal car but cleverer) our man decided to purchase the car.
On returning home and after he told his wife, who smiled knowingly. He surfed the internet for information about CO2 and car emissions. He compared his soon to be old car with the new car he had just agreed to purchase. The results were startling his old car used to pump out 204g of CO2 per kilometre his new car will only produce 104g per kilometre.
Feeling pretty good about himself he decided to see what else he could find out about climate change. The results soon made his good feeling disappear. Although there were many varying opinions on climate change our man new the news was not good.
So he set to thinking about what else he could do. Then the idea came to him what if I could offset the CO2 produced by my car. After more research the considered opinion was that planting 2 trees a year would offset the emissions of his new hybrid.
The GoGreen pass was born.
