There are many types of insurance for your home and car and selecting the right type can be difficult. A fairly new product line now being offered is green insurance, which takes into account sustainable features in a home to offer a discount for insurance or provides coverage for rebuilding green in the case of a claim. Here are eight important factors that make green insurance a great option for you:
1. It’s cheaper! You can get a discount of 5-10% not just on home insurance, but on car insurance as well. That ,500 a year for your teenage son just got a little less painful. And you don’t even need to drive a hybrid to get these discounts – just owning a green home is enough for some insurance companies to offer a discount on home AND car insurance.

The public interest to adopt “go green energy solutions” is becoming more and more prevalent in the contemporary age concurrent with the growing need to do so. Individuals have grown impatient from the slothful environmental practices of prior generations and they are fed up with them. They want to strike out on their own, and will do so by any means necessary. This means that many people are acting openly to make the world a much better and cleaner place, often to their own detriment monetarily and socially. But the hippie stigma is gradually fading as a larger and larger portion of modern societies realize that drastic attention has to be paid immediately to prevent an environmental catastrophe of epidemic proportions. Conscientious individuals have to consider taking appropriate action as soon as possible to combat many hundreds of years of inconsiderate and harmful environmental practices.
This is why in the past fifty many years or so, recycling has become a standard practice. The human race merely can’t afford to be wasteful. As rubbish dumps become stuffed to the brim with the millions of tons of metric waste, and as the seas fight for their lives battling ever-growing concentrations of oil and other harmful substances, it becomes increasingly clear that the human race has reached a tipping stage. The human race can on the one hand combine cooperative efforts to battle environmental waste, or on the other hand it can continue on a route to mutually assured destruction. The obvious choice is to pursue go green energy solutions with renewed vigor and commitment.

During February, our local librarian decorates her bulletin board with Dr. Seuss book titles. Many parents trip their tongues over Seuss stories like Green Eggs and Ham. “Do you like green eggs and ham?/I do not like them, Sam-I-am./I do not like green eggs and ham”, nor do I like the cost based on Consumer Price Index records.

There are many terms that are often used to describe real estate with environmentally friendly architecture. “Green,” “eco-friendly,” and “sustainable” buildings reduce energy and water use and may improve the quality of life for those who live or work inside it. Architects design green buildings using various design techniques, including natural ventilation, geothermal cooling systems, low-flow toilets, solar chimneys, and reclaimed wood.
The green building industry (a field that most hadn’t heard of only a decade ago) was worth about billion in 2007, according to the U.S. Green Building Council. Although sustainable construction is one of the fastest-growing areas of commercial building, a small number of new buildings are green. Buildings that do meet these standards can save money on energy costs, which is a benefit that may become more attractive as energy costs continue to rise.
