Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

April is home improvement month, with energy efficiency in homes being the most hard-pushed topic. The Government is striving to reduce the country's carbon dioxide emissions and homes are some of the worst offenders, producing a quarter of all emissions. The average home creates a massive 7.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. Home owners can do something about this by having their home energy rated.

The Council for Energy Efficiency Development in Haslemere, Surrey (telephone 01428 654011) can put home owners in touch with relevant experts and also has booklets of how to improve your home's energy savings.
