• Green Power (national accreditation program)
  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.

• High and dry by Guy Pearse - Readings Books
  Australia is feeling the sharpest of climate change's cutting edges – water shortage is chronic and irreversible, temperatures are rising, and species are dying on land and at sea.

In this damning insider's account, Guy Pearse tells us how and why current government policy is to increase carbon emissions rather than reduce them. The Weather Makers gave us the science of climate change; High and Dry gives us the politics and economics. It is a devastating indictment of how the coal industry boardroom dominates the Howard government cabinet room.
