Listening to the popular media, one could be forgiven for thinking that Australians in general don't care much about climate change and are not willing to do anything that costs them money. Wrong!
According to the recently released Green Power audit for 2009, in that year there were over 900,000 Green Power customers (we don't have more recent figures yet). That's over 900,000 people who are willing to pay more for their electricity for the sake of our climate!
Surely Green Power customer figures are just the tip of the iceberg - most safe-climate actions that householders take, like switching off lights, growing their own vegies, and minimizing car use, are simply not visible to the wider public. In addition, there are the thousands who have installed solar panels and/or solar hot water.
I think we can safely assume that the number of people taking safe-climate actions is much, much higher than 900,000.
