Example Polaris

How the decision of change of changed the CO2 balance and prevents one of the largest climate sins; Example Polaris alone through a sustainable electricity can everyone in the course of his life up to around 30 tonnes of CO2 savings. * this amount is comparable to the emissions of a VW buses *, with the man twice circled the Earth. “In the face of rising especially in the field of information and communication devices power consumption in households, is always crucial a conscious choice of energy, sustainably to protect climate and environment”, says Florian Henle, co-founder of the independent green energy provider Polaris. Already, experts predict that carbon dioxide emissions can be increased by up to two percent 2012. A few days ago, even nearly the tilt limit has been reached in some places on the Earth. Thus the amount of concentration of greenhouse gases is meant in the atmosphere, from the consequences of climate change are no longer recovered.

The global consequences such as cyclones, floods and droughts are valid under Experts then as a little more manageable. Power consumption: one of the greatest sins of climate at home climate sins, which are triggered by the consumption of electricity, can be different than, for example, in the consumer or in the diet with only a measure to prevent: who will switch to green electricity, which avoids with each kilowatt-hour consumed that it further CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere. Through the increasing use of digital devices, households need more and more power. The consumption in the area of audio/TV and Office to the 3,5fache has increased since 1996. Today he makes almost a quarter of the total private consumption out. * also the power consumption for washing, drying and flushing has greatly increased in recent years. Instead of despair in the face of the diversity of possible measures, you should focus better on a manageable measures, advises Immanuel came by the ISOE the Institute for social ecological research.
