The diagram to the right shows that, if everyone in the world used resources at the rate we do in the UK, Earth Overshoot Day would have fallen on 19thMay.Whereas if everyone had the lifestyle of an average person in Jamaica, we wouldn’t use up our ecological budget until 20thDecember. Throughout all of this, I am proud to say Good Energy never wavered in its commitment to climate action. It only strengthened our resolve — 2021 was a landmark year for our purpose in many respects. Support conservation charities such as the Woodland Trust, Wildlife Trust or the Marine Conservation Society.

The diagram above shows that we’ve been using more than what the earth can replenish each year for over half a century. Support causes and organisations such as Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace or The Climate Coalition. For cost savings, you can change your plan at any time online in the “Settings & Account” section.

This principle is known as the conservation of energy or the first law of thermodynamics. For example, when a box slides down a hill, the potential energy that the box has from being located high up on the slope is converted to kinetic energy, energy of motion. As the box slows to a stop through friction, the kinetic energy from the box’s motion is converted to thermal energy that heats the box and the slope. It was an eventful year to join. A world still coping with a global pandemic. Climate high up on the national and international political and media agenda with the UN’s climate conference COP26 coming to Glasgow. And as the year progressed, an increasingly volatile energy market driven by global gas prices. It brought into stark focus that there is not only an environmental argument for moving away from fossil fuels, there is an economic one too.

energy, in physics, the capacity for doing work. It may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various forms. There are, moreover, heat and work—i.e., energy in the process of transfer from one body to another. After it has been transferred, energy is always designated according to its nature. Hence, heat transferred may become thermal energy, while work done may manifest itself in the form of mechanical energy. Environmental and social governance shifted from a nice to have in business, to the only way of operating. The energy crisis has not abated and does not look to do so for the foreseeable. Meanwhile the climate crisis looms ever larger. The long-term solution to both is a cleaner, greener energy and transport system. Energy can be converted from one form to another in various other ways. Usable mechanical or electrical energy is, for instance, produced by many kinds of devices, including fuel-burning heat engines, generators, batteries, fuel cells, and magnetohydrodynamic systems. Lawyers and campaigners from Good Energy partner Friends of the Earth, Client Earth and the Good Law Project came together recently to take the UK government to court over their climate action targets. The High Court has ruled their net zero targets as unlawful in what Friends of the Earth lawyer Katie de Kauwe has called a “huge victory for climate justice”.You may also opt to downgrade to Standard Digital, a robust journalistic offering that fulfils many user’s needs.
