GreenPower
http://www.greenpower.gov.auGreenPower is the only voluntary government accredited program that enables your energy provider to purchase renewable energy on your behalf.
Green Energy.uk
http://www.greenenergy.uk.comWe are not like other green energy providers. We challenge the idea that ‘being green’ is all about making a big commitment, about making an extra effort, and paying extra costs.
Indeed, companies often talk about green energy as an 'alternative'. On the contrary, green energy makes sense for everyone, and we want to make it mainstream.
So, our prices are competitive not only within the green market, but also the entire utilities industry. By minimising the cost and effort it takes to switch, we aim to remove all obstacles to going green.
And because we want to give you even more reason to switch, we allow our customers to become shareholders for free.
Put simply: we do care about the environment, but we are not idealists with our heads in the clouds. We are down to earth, in every sense.
Earth Hour
http://www.earthhour.orgEarth Hour calls on individuals, businesses, communities and governments to go beyond the hour by committing to a positive action for the planet and celebrating that commitment with the people of the world by switching off their lights for one designated hour.
Energy Savers
http://www.energysavers.govEnergy Savers provides homeowners with tips for saving money and energy at home and on the road. By following just a few of the simple tips here in the Energy Savers guide section of the website, you can make your home more comfortable and easier to heat and cool—while you save money. We bring you the latest information on energy-saving, efficient technologies. We even give tips for using clean, renewable energy to power your home.
Pavegen
http://www.pavegen.comPavegen have globally pioneered a flooring tile that converts the kinetic energy from people's footsteps into renewable electricity. When stepped on, the Pavegen surface flexes a near imperceptible 5mm, generating up to 8 watts of power over the duration of the footstep, enough to power local applications such as street lighting, advertising displays, and communications technology. Installed successfully at sites around the world, including the 2013 Paris Marathon and London 2012 Olympic Games, the Pavegen flooring tiles are also able to collect, monitor and communicate live data using its unique API wireless interface. The software can calculate the amount of power generated and the number of footsteps on each tile, as well as control energy efficient lighting and send out live updates via social media channels. The highly engaging off grid technology has the ability to transform smart cities of the future, by providing a low-carbon energy contribution and real-time data analytics in high footfall areas.
Soofa
http://www.soofa.coSoofa is a solar-powered bench that provides you with free outdoor charging and location-based information like air quality and noise levels by uploading environmental sensor data to soofa.co. The smart urban furniture is developed by Changing Environments, a MIT Media Lab spin-off.

Good Energy's electricity is sourced purely from the wind, water, sun and through sustainable biogeneration.
Leafully
https://leafully.comLeafully helps you understand your energy usage so you can make smart choices. Energy units can be hard to understand, so Leafully brings it down to something simple: a tree. Leafully will show you how many trees are needed to offset the emissions from your energy consumption and show you actions you can take to reduce your impact.
SOCCKET
http://unchartedplay.com/soccketThe SOCCKET is a portable generator in the form of a size 5 soccer ball. Its internal mechanism takes the kinetic energy from rolling and converts and stores it as electrical energy. After the game is finished, the included single bulb LED lamp can be plugged into the ball to provide hours of light from just minutes of play.
