So the best time of the year is coming soon.

Finally its time to enjoy out efforts and spend some time shopping for the holiday season ahead. Halloween is coming soon and then we have Thanks Giving and finally its time to be stuffing the stocking.
Well it was a bonus to be believing in Santa when I was with my parents but now its more about being one for myself.

Making a wishlist for the gifts that I plan to buy this holiday season for family and friends. Have a few things to buy for the pets as well as its would be kinda evil if I miss them out, after all they are the ones who are the happiest to see me every single day.

Well, if you are also making your wishlist and want to be shopping online, do remember to use online coupons to save your self an extra buck.

Well this season I am all here, Overstock :: Target

Now this is one game site that I can like.

This is not one of those millions borrowed arcades (I have a few of those myself ), but have developed and released games of their own.

They do have borrowed games on their site, but have restricted to only the most enjoyable and have been choosy with their selection.

The site navigation is all over, so you wont miss a thing. One can choose from a variety of generes and you are sure to find something that would like.

The popups can bug you at times, but then its surely one of the better online arcade for casual games.

Now who does not want to go green ?

Yes, we are all aiming to overcome the global warming issue and make our surrounding a better place to live in.

With varied products aiming at reducing the carbon emissions to tackle the global warming issue, British Gas just got a step ahead.

They have launched the true green energy, with the release of their new green energy tariffs.

Help support the Green campaign and do try out their services, this is what we needed and ought to give our support to the fullest and at the same time fulfill our energy needs.

Their official press release:

BRITISH GAS LAUNCHES GREENEST ENERGY TARIFF

9 August 2007: British Gas has announced it is launching two new green energy tariffs, Zero Carbon, which will be the greenest tariff available on the domestic market and Future Energy. British Gas has launched the tariffs, in response to the increasing demand for green energy products.

Householders signing up to the Zero Carbon tariff will:
• reduce their household energy carbon emissions to zero through Kyoto compliant offset schemes which will meet the new Defra requirements
• help fund a direct increase in investment in renewable energy generated in the UK
• contribute to the new British Gas green fund which will:
o invest in developing new renewable technologies such as wave power
o oversee a programme to help schools in the UK reduce their CO2 emissions

Gearóid Lane, Managing Director British Gas New Energy said,”Our new tariff responds to consumer demand for truly green energy solutions. It is essential that customers have confidence in green energy tariffs and that their credibility is not damaged by tariffs that claim to be green but in reality do not deliver any incremental environmental benefits. Green tariffs are moving from niche to mainstream products and we’re leading the industry by offering a tariff that will do more for the environment than any other product currently available.”

Under the government’s Renewables Obligation (RO), electricity suppliers in the UK are already required to produce an increasing percentage of their electricity through methods such as wind farms which, unlike traditional power plants, produce zero carbon emissions. For 2007/2008 this figure is set at 7.9%.

In a recent report, the National Consumer Council (NCC) raised concerns that some energy suppliers are packaging electricity which is produced under the RO scheme as “green”, yet it delivers no additional environmental benefits. The NCC called on energy suppliers to take steps beyond their legal requirements and offer green energy tariffs that provide genuine additional environmental benefits, in particular CO2 emissions reduction.

British Gas worked with Global Action Plan and The Climate Group’s “We’re in this Together” campaign to develop Zero Carbon which goes further than any other green tariff in meeting these requirements offering consumers the only zero carbon option on the market.

The tariff carries a premium of £84 per year, reflecting the higher cost of producing energy through lower carbon emission schemes.

Virginia Graham, Chair of Global Action Plan, said, “The British Gas Zero Carbon tariff delivers on all three of the essential requirements of a green tariff which are: additionality, transparency and verifiability. As such it is a very welcome new offering in the market. Consumers signing up to the tariff can be confident that they are getting 12 per cent more renewable energy than they would otherwise have got. The carbon emissions from their electricity and gas will also be offset with emissions reductions from projects accredited by the United Nations.”

Zero Carbon is one of the first initiatives launched through the ‘We’re in this Together’ campaign, which was launched in April 07 as an alliance of some of the UK’s biggest brands who are all working to help their customers reduce their impact on the climate.

Dr Steve Howard, CEO of The Climate Group and founder of ‘We’re in this Together’ said, “We’re committed to offering people ways to make a real impact on climate change through Together.com. We’ve worked with British Gas to ensure that Zero Carbon is a genuine step forward in delivering more environmental benefits than any other tariff currently available.”

British Gas’s second green energy tariff, Future Energy, offers an alternative green electricity tariff at a premium of just £20 per year. Customers signing up to this tariff will contribute to a green fund which will provide solar panels and other renewable energy technologies to UK schools. Money from the fund will also be invested in development of future renewable technologies and sources.
