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 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. Political narky Sun, 04 Jun 2006 04:22:22 GMT http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ 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.
