      Absolutely. Making a difference is something I knew I wanted more than anything from my career (more than money!).
      Every solar panel, every wind turbine, and every hydro power station means that we need less fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) to meet our needs.
      Climate change is very possibly the biggest danger to the future well being of the whole planet and it’s man-made. We’ve caused it by burning more fossil fuels, and releasing more greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide than the world can cope with.
      So far this year, the work I’ve done has saved enough energy to power over fifty houses and I’m continuing to keep pushing to do better.
