Esurance Offers Tips on Befriending the Environment
Esurance is known for offering quality auto insurance at affordable rates. However, we believe it's not enough to simply be a great auto insurance company; we also strive to be an environmentally friendly one. With all the talk of greenhouse gases and deforestation, you too may be wondering how you can help preserve our natural resources. Take a look at the following tips on how you can make a difference both on and off the road.
On the road
- Take public transportation. Fewer cars on the road means less carbon dioxide in the air. If public transportation is available in your area it can be a great alternative to driving. Likewise, walking, rollerblading, and bike riding are all great forms of exercise that can also help you avoid costly gas prices and aggravating traffic.
- Carpool. Believe it or not, the average commuter produces a 3.4 ton cloud of CO2 a year. By sharing your commute with even just one other person, you'd be cutting that amount in half. You may even find that your city offers organized ride shares for commuters. Not only will you save on gas, you might make a new friend!
- Drive a fuel-efficient vehicle. Next time you're in the market for a new car, consider a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). Hybrid vehicles get roughly 10-20 more miles per gallon than conventional vehicles and put gas money back in your wallet! That's why Esurance drives a claims vehicle fleet that is 100% hybrid. For more information on HEVs, check out

And remember— the less you drive, the less risk you have of getting into an accident and having to file an auto insurance claim!
Off the road
- Recycle. It seems so simple, but sticking your bottle, can, or paper into the recycle bin helps preserve our natural resources immensely. Reusing non-recyclable containers and bags is another easy way to conserve.
- Print less. Whether you're at work or at home, ask yourself: “Do I really need to print that document?” If you're an Esurance policyholder, you never have to print your policy documents because they're always available to you in your online account! If you do need to print something, try making your margins slightly smaller. That way the document will take up fewer pages.
- Pay your bills online. These days, most big companies allow you to pay your bills online. Not only do you save on stamps, the company saves paper by not sending you a bill. By communicating with our customers by email and automatically withdrawing payments when they're due, Esurance avoids sending millions of sheets of paper to our policyholders. We even plant trees to offset the paper we do use.
- Calculate your carbon emissions. Knowledge is power. You can determine your everyday CO2 use and find solutions to reduce your carbon footprint by using our
Esurance Live Impact calculator.
