Green Auto Insurance

Everywhere you look people are talking about how they can be more clean – not themselves, but their environments. Especially with Al Gore showing us all how much worse our planet it going to become – there could not be a better time for consumers to think about what they buy and how they live to make this a better planet for ourselves and for future generations.

But what is hype and what is the real deal? There is eco-friendly labeling on everything from cars to dry cleaners and now mortgages and car insurance are getting in on the act. But how can things like the car insurance you choose to get impact the environment?

Cooperative Insurance’s Eco-insurance policy has gone green – and people are taking advantage of it. What that means is that if you drive a car that is eco-friendly, they are going to give you a discount on your car insurance. They also support eco-friendly garages for your vehicle repairs, and they invest in reforestation projects as well as renewable energy to offset the carbon emissions from their clients’ vehicles.

Climatesure is working with several auto insurance companies like Norwich Union and Axa, and for every policy one of their teammates sells, they will invest money in carbon off-set projects in the amount estimated that the client’s carbon footprint will be. Plus, they are not charging anything extra for these policies; they just want to be environmentally responsible.
