How Do You Protect the Planet?

Hi! My name is Eric and this is my new energy blog. I am a pretty old guy. I was one of the original 1960s hippies who used to drive around Australia in a VW van. The most important thing I learnt as a young man is that we all need to look after Planet Earth. When I bought my retirement home in Sydney, I decided to make it as eco-friendly as possible. I asked a contractor to visit my home and install wind turbines and solar panels on my home. I hope you will join me in my effort to save this planet.
