Carbon Neutral Motor Insurance
Transport is one of the major sources of the carbon we emit, which is generally accepted to be contributing to climate change. While air travel is far and away the most carbon-intensive forms of transport, our everyday car journeys also play an important part, accounting for 25% of UK emissions.
While it's important to try and restrict our carbon footprint by reducing the number of miles we drive in our cars, there are some trips for which we have no real choice, carbon emissions or otherwise.
That doesn't mean that there's nothing we can do to reduce the impact of our car usage though, as one insurer has come up with the novel idea of tying together a standard car insurance policy with the concept of carbon offsetting.
ibuyeco - Car insurance with 100% carbon offsetting
The idea behind offsetting is that for every amount of carbon our actions cause to be emitted, we pay towards a project that will either remove carbon from the atmosphere (tree planting for example), or will help find ways to provide energy without emitting carbon in the future (alternative energy research). In this way our net effect on the amount of carbon in the atmosphere is neutral at worst.
Car insurance provider ibuyeco uses the information you provide on your insurance quote form - type of car, milage, etc - to work out your carbon footprint, and then adds the cost for carbon offsetting 100% of your emissions to your quote.
