The little Green Project: New Eco Friendly Website + a GIVEAWAY!

(More little Green Project links here.) 

Here’s what I learned this week:  Going green goes way beyond my little understanding of green-ness.  I’ve understood going green in the way of eating organic foods and using eco-friendly cleaners.  And composting.  And recycling. 

But recently my cousin Michael introduced me to a new concept in going green by showing me his amazing new website, Eco Smart Insurance.   READ THIS:

“EcoSmartInsurance.com is the internet’s first site dedicated to recognizing and promoting ‘green’ auto insurance providers in the United States.  Why auto insurance?  First, almost everyone has to insure their cars.  So make sure you pay your premium to an environmentally sound insurance corporation. 
 
Secondly, insurance companies are historically big and wasteful.  However, a good many of the nation’s largest auto insurers are taking big steps to cut down on the waste and give policy holders eco-smart options.  Some of these options include paperless billing, hybrid-fuel corporate vehicle fleets, partnerships with carbon credit providers and other environmental groups, and other efforts to reduce their CO2 footprint. 
 
Using a good, better, best scale EcoSmartInsurance.com users can see if their current auto insurance provider excels in green business practices.  If not, they can use the site to make the switch to a more eco-conscious provider.  Who knows, going green may even save you some green.” 

I LOVE this idea.  Why shouldn’t all the businesses around us get on the “going green” bandwagon?  Slowly but surely, maybe most of them will.  I love how EcoSmartInsurance.com makes it easy to find the auto insurance that agrees with my green lifestyle.

AS A WAY OF CELEBRATING our final week of The little Green Project…Michael, owner of EcoSmartInsurance.com is offering one of my readers a $25 Gift Certificate to gaiam.com (which oh my goodness, you will want to win because they have SO MANY FUN ”green” items!!)!
