on/off switch for green power
Buy a hat, put it on and then take it off (if you already have a hat, ignore the first part). Why? Because the Plymouth and South West Co-operative Society (Co-op) is switching over to completely renewable energy to power all its stores in the south west, that’s why.
The green energy will come from small scale hydro and wind generators, landfill gases and biomass.
It’s only fair to mention the company that will provide all this green energy: Scottish Power and Scottish & Southern.
Now all of you put your hats back on and ask, ‘Why do you need to sign a special deal to get green energy? Surely it should come as standard.’
Rather you should opt out of common sense (using renewable green energy you numbskull) and this opt-out box should read - yes, I don’t want to use energy from renewable sources and I am prepared for my energy to run out anyday now.*
*your details may be passed to third parties.
The Co-op’s deal starts October 1.
