This week’s post is about a very serious & effective political act that any of us can make, right now.

Watch the video where green energy company Ecotricity founder Dale Vince explains to Vivienne how this works.
Imagine the whole country switched tonight (it only takes 5 minutes)?
We would wake tomorrow with a completely different national energy policy & the government & their fossil fuel backers would be bypassed!
