The biggest single step we can all take, and actually the easiest &#8211; is to choose green energy to power your home and your business. Energy from fossil fuels is the biggest single cause of climate change and green energy is the simple answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to be partnering with Green Tourism to fight climate change \u2013 and we\u2019ll be working together to inspire change for a sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the year, Ecotricity will also be giving businesses who sign up to their green energy the opportunity to enter into prize draws to win up to \u00a31,000 worth of prizes.<\/p>\n<p>Green Tourism is the world\u2019s largest sustainable certification programme for the tourism industry with over 2,750 eco-friendly accommodation and attraction providers across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Established for over 20 years, Green Tourism support their members to become eco-friendly through investment in staff training and local communities, conservation of the local environment and lowering carbon emissions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partnership will develop a
