Greener Hours

Our mission is to help everyone use energy when it’s clean. And not, when it’s not.

"We need transformational change operating on processes and behaviours at all levels: individual, communities, business, institutions and governments," says a draft report from IPCC - shocking reading.

#EXCLUSIVE Climate change will fundamentally reshape life on Earth in coming decades, even if humans can tame planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, says a landmark draft report from UN's climate science advisors obtained by @AFP https://t.co/Q4ytmReVky

Britain is on track for periods of 100% zero carbon electricity by 2025!

Even more reason to check the carbon intensity forecast before switching on appliances or plugging in your EV 💨☀️

[National Energy System Operator @neso_energy]

From 60% #coal in the 1990s to half our ⚡️⚡️⚡️ from #zerocarbon today, how has GB made its grid one of the greenest?

As we count down to @COP26 – with @nationalgriduk a principal partner – our #RoadToZeroCarbon report shares the story of that transition 👉https://t.co/VRonPYfCwQ

[Greener Hours @GreenerHours]

If you're concerned about greenwashing and want to know more about the future of green tariffs we highly recommend listening to this recording of last week's Energy UK webinar 👇

[Energy UK @EnergyUKcomms]

#ICYMI we held our breakfast briefing on green tariffs & #NetZero choices for consumers last week 🌍

📽️ You can now watch the recording on our website: https://t.co/EExnnzrnOV

Or sign up to attend our next #EUKbriefing on the Heat & Buildings Strategy: https://t.co/ikBtxHJ4kD

Brilliant idea - making carbon intensity fun for real family life ☀️💨

[Energy Sparks @EnergySparks]

Enjoyed excellent @GreenTech_SWest talk about @GreenerHours app -> planning your #electricity use to coincide with higher #renewables load on @nationalgriduk @myGridGB.

If you / your family are keen to take action why not try our activity https://t.co/pCEiCQa0Uf @baking4cast

[techSPARK @techSPARKuk]

There's still time to sign up for @GreenTech_SWest today at 12:30!

Today the wonderful Vanessa Champniss will be speaking on her mission to help people use energy when it's cleanest with her business @GreenerHours🌱💪

[Greener Hours @GreenerHours]

Join our co-founder Vanessa tomorrow at Green Tech South West for a talk about energy use and behaviour change...

[Green Tech South West @GreenTech_SWest]

We caught up with @Ness_Harry for a quick Q&A ahead of Thursday's GTSW event, take a look!

The plastic crisis is growing 😱 At this rate plastic will be responsible for 5-10% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050...

[Damian Carrington @dpcarrington]

Twenty companies produce 55% of world’s #plasticpollution, report reveals

The biggest? @exxonmobil

On Thurs, May 20th at 12.30pm, @GreenTech_SWest are welcoming Vanessa, Co-Founder of @GreenerHours, to tell us how the app Greener Hours is helping to change daily behaviours to use energy when it’s cleanest. We caught up with Vanessa ahead of the talk 🌳https://t.co/6XX50ybCkk

So interesting that even leading engineers see that lifestyle and behaviour change have an important role to play if we're to reach #NetZero - together with making use of every technology available.

[Roger Harrabin @RHarrabin]

US #climate hero @JohnKerry ridiculed for saying half our effort towards #Netzero will come from tech we don't currently have. It takes 30-100 yrs for energy tech to get a foothold, he's told. https://t.co/pthUgk3ebp @Revkin @e3g @IMechE @theCCCuk @beisgovuk @AlokSharma_RDG

[Dhara Vyas @Dhara__Vyas]

What happens when you give a representative group of UK citizens the facts about the climate emergency and ask them what they think Govt should do to reach #NetZero?

Can't reccomend this highly enough...

#ThePeopleVsClimateChange on @BBCiPlayer https://t.co/DfaeAqJTMW

[Greener Hours @GreenerHours]

This looks great - definitely one to watch.

[involve @involveUK]

📽️ We're very excited that "The People Vs Climate Change" – a documentary about @NetZeroUK – will soon be coming to @BBCiPlayer! 📺

Watch it ahead of the crowds and hear from those involved by joining the premiere screening and Q&A next Wednesday

[Greener Hours @GreenerHours]

Mass-scale behaviour change will be critical if we are to reach net-zero. Join us at @GreenTech_SWest on 20th May to discuss how changing energy use habits will help tackle climate change.

That's all for today, but we're back on May 20th when we'll hear from @Ness_Harry at @GreenerHours, who supports people to use energy at its cleanest!🍃

Some more events of interest from friends in our community below.. see you soon🌳

[Greener Hours @GreenerHours]

Great to see this step change in emissions targets 🙌 including aviation & shipping, previously overlooked.

Now we need robust policy and investment to meet those targets...

Smashing records in the fight against climate change ☀️💨

[National Grid @nationalgrid]

We’re on a roll! Last month, almost half of Britain's electricity supply came from #zerocarbon sources. This month, a new record has been set for the lowest carbon intensity levels in history! 🍃 ☀️ 💨

[Greener Hours @GreenerHours]

@isabelledrury Hi Isabelle, we've just launched an app that tells people when the electricity flowing into their home is clean (ie from renewable sources) - useful for families with big washing/dishwashing loads looking to reduce their carbon footprints: https://t.co/YjNd6isGSF

[Greener Hours @GreenerHours]

This is a fantastic step forward 🙌🙌
