Scottish government scheme to make homes 'greener'
The Green Insurance Company were delighted to hear this week that the Scottish government has unveiled a new scheme to make homes in Scotland 'greener'.
Scottish homeowners will be able to borrow up to £10,000 interest free to make their homes more energy efficient. The loans are part of the Energy Efficiency Action Plan, aimed at helping meet a target of cutting C02 emissions by 42% by 2020.
Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth John Swinney said: “Energy efficiency is a key part of our economic recovery programme and our climate change ambitions."
A waste of energy is a waste of money and with high fuel prices and the need to cut emissions, we must all take steps to cut energy use - in our homes, in the transport we use, in businesses and across the public sector."
You can reduce your homes CO2 emissions by having better insulation, more efficient boilers, or small renewable energy systems.
But there's more to being green than just what's in your home.
At The Green Insurance Company we'll provide you with a greener alternative to car insurance and breakdown cover by offsetting the Carbon emissions of your vehicle and giving 5% of our profits to an environmental charity.
Why not get a quote for your car insurance or breakdown cover today and take another step into a greener way of life?
