The future of all of our children and their children depends upon how we look after the environment now. It seems self evident that human beings cannot live without clean air food and water and a stable climate yet we continue to pollute and destroy our environment at every turn. With the extreme weather events experienced lately it is now evident to most people that climate change is a reality and the incidence of extreme weather events is likely to increase as the greenhouse effect continues to worsen. As most of us are now aware, one of the major the greenhouse contributors is burning fossil fuels to produce energy. Therefore, it is important to us that we offer choices that can help to minimise their energy requirements and reduce the amount of fossil fuel use. Accord Electrical is committed to protecting the environment and is an Energex Earth’s Choice partner. This means we purchase 100% of electricity required to run our business from renewable resources. We wholeheartedly recommend this fabulous Energex initiative to all of our customers. Please follow this link to find out how you too can purchase some or all of your power from non-polluting sustainable sources from as little as 80c per week. http://www.energex.com.au/environment/earthschoice_green_energy.html We also reduce energy and resource use wherever we can. Two of our vehicles are currently converted to LPG and we have a policy that all future vehicles we purchase will also be converted to LPG, or a more efficient option if available. We offset our carbon emissions through membership of Greenfleet. Greenfleet is a not for profit organisation that plants native trees which act as carbon sinks and so absorb the equivalent of the carbon emitted by our cars. http://www.greenfleet.com.au/index.asp We also employ a cardboard recycling service so that the large amount of cardboard packaging we encounter is not wasted, and we go to considerable lengths to source recycled stationery products wherever feasible. We also contribute to a number of environmental charities. We choose Australian Ethical Superannuation as our personal superannuation fund because it is one of the few funds that consider the triple bottom line – the economic, social and environmental outcomes - not economics alone. We also choose Australian Ethical Super as our default employer fund. There seems to be an assumption in the wider community that ethical funds do not perform very well economically but, in fact, ethical funds often perform as well or better than conventional super funds and consequently are growing rapidly in popularity.
