If so, what kind? (optional question)Your answerWould you: *Consider generating your own renewable energy (e.g. solar panels, solar hot water, heat pump)? In most cases, this is much cheaper than purchasing electricity or gas from your retailer over a 5-10 year period.Consider switching your electricity account to a carbon neutral option if it cost the same? This is achieved by the electricity retailer purchasing Australian and overseas carbon offsets (not necessarily based on renewable energy) to make your electricity supply carbon neutral. This option is currently only available from a few retailers.Consider buying accredited renewable electricity through your retailer? This is currently more expensive than conventional energy.Consider joining a renewable energy purchasing group? This means that individuals form part of a group (or join an existing one) to bulk-purchase renewable energy to achieve a better price.Consider investing in community-owned renewables? This means that you would invest in renewable energy systems that are owned by people and businesses in the community. These typically offer a higher return of investment than a bank deposit.I would not consider any of these optionsOther:RequiredDo you want to continue to be informed about the progress of this project:By clicking 'yes', you will be put on the North Sydney Council mailing list for this project.YesNoI want to participate in a focus group or workshop for this projectHow did you find out about the survey?NewsletterPublicationCommunity notice boardSocial mediaThrough my networkIn a workshop/presentationThrough Council's 'Have your say'MarketsOther:Clear selectionSubmitNever submit passwords through Google Forms.This content is neither created nor endorsed by Google.
