#PayAsYouGo: Known as a #VehicleMilesTravelled (V.M.T.) fee, it would charge #drivers for each mile of their use of the #road. In doing so, it can incentivize us to drive less often, to avoid #peak #travel periods and to drive less-damaging and less #polluting #vehicles.

It’s not until you look, you realise quite how much you’ve spent on #PayAsYouGo #gas and #electric, until you look.

Those prices are #rough

#SolarEnergy is clearly the first choice for electricity, but for sustainable impact it is more important what #EnergyService is provided.
The women-led Tree_Sea.mals project reduces #FoodWaste with #PayAsYouGo cooling at a #Nairobi meat market. Expected results per year from three 15kWp PV chillers: 288t less meat spoiled, 77tCO2 mitigated and 24k€ savings in energy costs.

Reminder that as companies keep pushing #PayAsYouGo schemes we must keep pushing back

These companies want it so that we have no control over things we #Bought with our #OwnMoney.

If it appears on my #BankStatement then I should Legally own it.

This is why we need #Opensource
