Pro-Environmental Consumerism

Insurance is probably something all of us will have to renew or buy at some point throughout the year. It could be insurance for a car, insurance for a home or the contents of a home, or simply a one off purchase of travel insurance to cover a much needed holiday or family trip abroad.

The Internet does seem the perfect medium with which to seek out insurance advice, analyse best buys, compare offers and get quotes from major insurance companies.

But since the web is such a vast place it does mean that this information can be scattered across a variety of websites, often with each giving their own valuable tips that could assist the insurance buyer in making their decision.

The result of this is that a quick search for "insurance tips" will often require hours of browsing as the knowledge trail leads from site to site, possibly leaving the consumer overwhelmed by all the information on offer and a little frustrated at the time it took to read.

Simplifying Insurance Buying

With this in mind, we thought it was time to simplify the whole process of buying insurance online. So instead of spending hours browsing individual websites and reading snippets here and there, we thought it would be easier to condense the most commonly sought after insurance information and make it available on one convenient site.

From the basic insurance know-how to hints and tips that will hopefully save you some money. We have combined this with a useful page that enables anyone to easily compare insurance quotes, while at the same time allow them to see the most recent offers and discounts from the leading insurance companies.

Insurance and the CO2 Link

Although we think saving time and money are essential ingredients to a successful consumer site, we also believe there is another important aspect to consider when helping people in their search for consumer items. That is the impact those products will have, either directly or indirectly, on our environment.

In all likelihood buying any type of insurance policy will not normally have an impact on the environment, however the things we pay to insure often will.

It's common knowledge that cars, homes and air travel all produce in quantity the greenhouse gases that are thought to be changing our climate. From generating the electricity that we use to power our homes to the CO2 produced by millions of fossil-fueled cars, not forgetting the hundreds of commercial flights that take off and land throughout the world every minute of every day.

Insurance policies are therefore easily linked to the problems we all will eventually face as our planet's climate slowly begins to change.

It's going to take the combined effort of us all to reverse the damage we've already done, minimise the damage in the future and bring our climate back to a more harmonious equilibrium.

It is our hope that this site will enable consumers interested in reducing their carbon footprint to offset some of the harmful gases they produce as home owners, motorists and air travelers. We intend to help you do this by making a carbon offset contribution on your behalf each time an insurance policy is purchased.

Helping You Carbon Offset

For example, if you are looking to buy or renew any insurance policy then this site aims to not only assist by offering plenty of information, but more importantly help you neutralise some of the pollution you cause by supporting forestry restoration schemes around the UK.

Through advertising revenue, and at no cost to visitors to this site, we hope to finance the planting of one tree for each and every insurance policy bought as a result of being inspired by this site.

Although our tree planting endeavours will not result in offsetting personal CO2 emissions in full, they should however give a valuable boost to those aspiring to lead a carbon neutral lifestyle.

The tree planting projects we have carefully chosen are all based in the UK and are designed to benefit the environment by increasing CO2 absorption, as well as create sustainable habitats for the wildlife of our countryside.
