MileMeter Commits to Nurturing Planet Earth and Customers Wallets
DALLAS — To mark Earth
Day, Americans are encouraged to find more ways to protect the
planet. One Dallas-based company, MileMeter
offers a creative, yet practical way to help nurture the environment
with its new auto insurance option, encouraging people to drive less,
greening not only their wallets, but also planet Earth.
Vehicle pollution continues to be a major source of pollution. Did you
know there are 500 million cars on Earth each burning an average of two
gallons of fuel a day? Furthermore, each gallon of fuel used releases 20
pounds of carbon dioxide into the environment. You do the math.
MileMeter, a licensed auto insurance company, provides economic
incentives to drive less by offering by-the-mile service for those
driving up to 10,000 miles per year, saving Texas drivers an average of
25 75 percent on most policies. Planet Earth is reaping the benefits
from these MileMeter customers fewer miles driven on the roads leads
to fewer tailpipe emissions, less toxic road runoff, and less demand for
road and parking lot construction, which helps reduce urban sprawl,
improve air quality and fight climate change.
By-the-mile insurance could cut air pollution and traffic congestion by
10 to 12 percent, said Chris Gay, MileMeter founder and president.
Texans are the first and only drivers in the nation who have the
opportunity to save
money and help save the environment with this by-the-mile auto
insurance option.
While the statistics may be daunting, Earth Day is supposed to be a
celebration. Here are some tips on how you can make a difference.
Carpool with colleagues – sharing a ride twice a week can reduce
emissions by 1,590 pounds a year. Take public transit – one bus carries
as many people as 40 cars. Walk or bike – 40 percent of trips are less
than two miles long.
