Ibuyeco car insurance offsets 18,000 tons of CO2 in first three months

Ibuyeco is a green car insurance program that launched on World Environment Day (June 5) with a push from supermodel Laura Bailey and, according to the company, has managed to offset 18,000 tonnes of CO2 since that day. By charging a bit more than standard insuarnce, ibuyeco works with The CarbonNeutral Company to, oh, I suppose plant trees and whatnot. How much a person pays depends on the vehicle's engine size, fuel type and how far he or she drives in a year. Considering that there's a little flash animation on the ibuyeco website that says that taking just one car off the road for a year will eliminate a ton of CO2, is it safe to assume that ibuyeco has signed up 18,000 customers?

British supermodel launches eco-friendly car insurance

Filed under: Etc., Green Culture, Jaguar, Carbon Offset

If you follow the automotive and fashion model worlds, one name that you'll find in both arenas is Laura Bailey. A few years back she was the "face" of the Jaguar X. Her latest auto adventure is something a little better for the environment.

To mark today as World Environment Day, Bailey is helping to launch ibuyeco, a green car insurance program in the UK. The concept is to have people pay a little extra on their insurance premiums to offset the carbon they emit while they have the policy. Ibuyeco says their policies are "competitively priced" and the small offset charge is based on what kind of vehicle they drive and how many miles they put on a year. The CarbonNeutral Company is the offset provider.
