Corporations use 70% of Australia’s electricity
If big companies switch to 100% renewable energy, we can power a cleaner, safer future for all Australians. Right now, big companies are powering back up after hitting the pause button during COVID-19, and with that comes their carbon footprint. Big businesses – like Coles, Woolworths and Optus – use 70% of all electricity in Australia, which currently is mostly powered by polluting coal. But these companies have a huge potential to make good decisions right now and build back better by putting Australia on the path to 100% renewable energy. Will you donate today to help us push big businesses to switch to 100% renewable energy?
Switching corporations will have a BIG impact
– Ensure stable job creation: Investing in renewable energy has the potential to create over 44,000 jobs by 2025. Renewables offer long-term job security and opportunities for Australians.
– Build a resilient, sustainable economy: Coal is dirty, expensive and unreliable. As global demand for coal and oil falls, and wind and solar farms are cheaper to build, we need to make the switch.
– Cut carbon emissions: If just three of Australia’s big businesses were powered by 100% renewable energy, they would cut almost 17 million tonnes of carbon emissions.
Coal and oil is in the past. 100% renewable is 100% doable.
