  Green Power is a national accreditation program that sets stringent environmental and reporting standards for renewable energy products offered by electricity suppliers to households and businesses across Australia. If you choose a government accredited Green Power product, your energy supplier agrees that the equivalent amount of energy you nominate is produced from renewable sources, avoiding the use of coal-derived power. Energy suppliers’ Green Power products are independently audited so you can be sure your money is being well spent. The Green Power tick is your guarantee that your contributions are helping facilitate the installation of new sustainable energy projects in Australia.

• The Australia Institute
  The Australia Institute is an independent public policy research centre funded by grants from philanthropic trusts, memberships and commissioned research. The Institute was launched in 1994 to develop and conduct research and policy analysis and to participate forcefully in public debates. In addition, the Institute undertakes research and analysis commissioned and paid for by government, business, unions and community organisations. Those involved in the Institute have each, from different viewpoints, been concerned about the impact on Australian society of the priority given to a narrow definition of economic efficiency over community, environmental and ethical considerations in public and private decision making. A better balance is urgently needed.

  Note: Private markets, while effective at encouraging efficiency in many circumstances, frequently fail to reflect adequately the ethical, social and environmental priorities of the community. Governments must provide the appropriate institutional framework in which private markets operate so as to ensure ...more that they contribute to justice, equity and sustainability as well as efficiency. Market outcomes are not value free and the Institute reasserts the place of ethics in making public and private decisions.
• The Huffington Post
  A political blog most unlike the usual offerings. It is not a soapbox for a central commentator, but home to a bevy of A-list contributors weighing in on the political situation in the US. Co-founded by syndicated columnist and one-time candidate for governor of California Arianna Huffington, the blog is a heavy dose of news and opinion - the commentaries coming from top names in journalism, politics and even Hollywood. Left-leaning, it does occasionally give up space for the right as well. It may be the antithesis of the blog that gives power to the powerless, but its rich content and star authors attract plenty of eyeballs.

• Confronting the Experts by Brian Martin (Editor)
  Confronting the Experts brings together six personal case histories of challenges to establishment. The authors tell why they questioned conventional wisdom. Powerful groups can get their way by gaining the support of intellectual authorities and also how these authorities can be challenged, it provides insights into the issues of power, dissent, and social change. Included are Sharon Beder's research on sewage and how it helped to undermine the credibility of the Sydney Water Board; Mark Diesendorf's scientific and social critique of fluoridation; Edward Herman's exposition of the flaws in the establishment perspective on terrorism; Harold Hillman's questioning of the validity of standard methods used in biology.
