The Boom in the Green Car Insurance Market

Recent research has found that Green Car Insurance policies cost almost 100 per cent more than the regular insurance covers. Price comparison websites on the Internet warn drivers who want to go green that clearing of their carbon emissions is going to cost them more.

Thus, although going for "green" insurance options is admirable, car owners and drivers are advised to weigh the pros and cons before finalising their car insurance policies. They should clearly judge whether a Green Car Insurance policy would be a good idea for them.

The insurance industry can soon experience a boom in the sector of Green Car Insurance. Many car insurance providers have introduced exclusive packages that target the "green" section of customers, or the "green market". This market consists of car owners and drivers who want to have "environment-friendly" insurance policies for their vehicles.

The majority of the "green" insurance providers design carbon-offsetting schemes. Such a scheme can intend to contribute a percentage of the insurance premium to projects dedicated to carbon offsetting. Generally, Green Car Insurance companies offset the overall carbon emissions of a vehicle.

Carbon offsetting schemes may vary from one insurance provider to another. For some, it could mean the planting of trees or promoting recycling, or being involved in other environment friendly projects. Others may decide to get every form of energy they need solely from renewable sources, or reduce their consumption of paper, cones and water cups. Many green car insurance companies contribute a certain percentage of their annual profits to environment friendly causes. Some offer "green" incentives like recycling a car if it has almost become scrap, and using recycled motor parts, wherever possible, for repairs and replacements.

Some car insurance providers offer lower premiums to owners of green cars. This is due to a common notion among insurers that owners and drivers of green cars are more responsible towards environment and hence are lesser risks to the insurer.

Should you go for Green Car Insurance policies?

A Green Car Insurance policy is an ideal opportunity to contribute towards environmental causes. But, it goes without saying, that these policies are costlier.

Instead of going for a Green Car Insurance policy, you can choose the cheapest car insurance option that will do just enough to provide your car with the cover you want for it. Then you can contribute the money you save on your insurance premium to a green cause that pertains to your ideals. This will bring more satisfaction to you as you get to choose where the money goes and how it gets used. But only a disciplined individual with a lot of restraint can use his saving for environmental causes.

Motorists can take care of the environment in various ways. But they often remain oblivious of the pathetic realities of the environment and thus fail to do their bit. Opting for a Green Car Insurance policy is a simple act that will only require them to pay some extra cash towards the upkeep of the planet earth. But as long as Green Car Insurance policies remain just an option, the objective will be only partially served.

on OPT if your employer applies for green card, can you renew your Employment Authorization Documents (EAD)?

in order to stay here legally until you recieve the green card ?

Commonly your employer would petition for H1B until your green card process will be processed, because Employment Based green card is multi step process. First, your employer need to get Labor Certification from Department of Labor through PERM Process. Then they will petition I-140, Petition for Foreign Worker. Premium Processing (PP) of I-140 is currently not available. You can still use PP for I-129 Petition for a Non-immigrant Worker to apply H1B.
After the approval of I-140, unless you are qualified as EB1, or EB2 ROW (Rest of World except China, India), EB3 immigrant visa wait is about 5 to 10 years to be able to file I-485 Register to Permanent Resident or Adjustment of Status. EAD can be filed with I-485 or while AOS is pending.
