Special agents like you need training to handle extreme situations. You know, like how to get around when you’re weightless, how to hold up to 4 Gs of force…

To help get you in the captain's chair and to celebrate the upcoming May 8 release of the new movie "Star Trek," Esurance has launched the Explore New Worlds sweepstakes.

Entering's easy. Just boldly go to www.esurance.com/startrek and get a car insurance quote or just provide some contact info.

One lucky winner will get a trip for 2 adults to Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Keep me posted on what's happening in your corner of the galaxy via my secure email.

Live long and prosper,

--Erin

Esurance is working with the World Wildlife Fund again this year to get folks to flip their switches for Earth Hour!

On March 28, millions of people around the world will turn off their lights and power down for one hour to show that we can all make a big difference when we do simple things together. Find out what you can do on March 28 and every day at: www.esurance.com/earthhour

As Esurance's way of saying thanks for taking the time to get informed, if you buy a new auto insurance policy, we'll offset your car's CO2 emissions for 6 months. Follow this link for all the info about this very special offer: www.esurance.com/earthhour

But don't delay! This offer is available for a limited number of eco-friends only.

Regardless of where you buy auto insurance, be sure to flip your switch on March 28! In addition to giving our planet a break, it's the perfect reason to stargaze or have a candlelit dinner with pals. (And who doesn't look better by starlight or candlelight?)

If you do anything groovy for Earth Hour, please let me know on my secure email.

First off, special agents, happy New Year! I hope your 2009 is off to a start that's out of this world.

To help your year blast off in the right direction, check out Esurance's new Star Trek site. You can see exclusive content from the latest Star Trek film, hitting theaters May 8.

If you're a real fan of Star Trek, I hope you'll accept a very important mission: Create a video of yourself explaining why you're the galaxy's biggest Trekkie, and you could be the luckiest person on Planet Earth. The person who submits the winning video will get a chance to attend the Star Trek premiere in Hollywood. Find out more about the contest.

Aside from the Galaxy's Biggest Trekkie contest – you can always send me your other updates on my secure email.
