Yes, even insurance has gone green. Not only can you find cheap car insurance for the environmentally conscious, but also for your home or business. Structures that are already green/LEED certified can now be insured for the unique risks that aren’t encountered with traditional buildings. But what if your building is constructed with traditional materials? Well, green insurance may still be a great option. In the event of a loss, you’ll be covered to upgrade the building to LEED certification standards. In other words, it will allow you to rebuild and go green at the same time.
Who’s offering green insurance? Fireman’s Fund, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Ace, Chubb and Zurich, among others.
