European Commission - Consumer education site now covers sustainable consumption and utilities

The European Commission and its partner university network (EUCEN) have launched two new modules of DOLCETA, an online consumer education tool. The two new modules are dedicated to sustainable consumption and services of general interest (such as telecoms, energy, transport, water supply and postal services). Some examples of the issues that consumers can now study online include: a sustainable home (e.g. how to make big savings on energy bills and help tackle climate change when buying furniture or home appliances), carbon offsetting (how to compensate for the carbon emissions produced when driving a car, flying or even using a computer), or tips on what to look out for when choosing an energy supplier or a mobile phone operator.
