Save 3 to 5% on Insurance Just by Buying Through Better World!
On Top Of Other Discounts! And Free Carbon Offsets!! (Do We Sound Like that Progressive Insurance Lady from TV Yet?)
Hopefully You'll Now Understand Why We Can't Afford any Cavemen or a Talking Gecko
You can't go much of anywhere on the internet without seeing an offer for insurance savings. And anyone who watches any television (even if that's on the internet too) has seen that commercial with the overexcited woman
ringing up an insurance customer to a chorus of discounts. Well, (and we're sure you're upset about this) we can't afford to inundate you with advertisements. That's partly because the BWC management is so cheap, and partly because we're
getting our insurance customers such great discounts.
Not only do we give discounts to hybrid owners, good drivers, good students, for safety devices and covering more than one car (among other things), but you'll save 3 to 5% off the base insurance rate in the state where you live
just for getting your quote through Better World. (This is when that lady would scream, "DISCOUNT!") Our auto insurance customers are eligible for a discount of around 7% on homeowners insurance when they purchase that from us as
well (and that will cover your bicycle).
As we reported
here and
here, we've expanded the availability of our insurance services quite a bit over the last several months. A complete list of the states where we're currently quoting is available
here. Click
here for a quote.
And again (sigh!), for everyone who didn't click through to our previous announcements: Better World is an independent insurance agent that works for you. In addition to our many discounts, we are the only insurance company
providing a FREE carbon offset to cover the first 2,000 miles of greenhouse gas emissions generated by your automobile.

...Plus a Whole Lot of Fun...and Science...and You Didn't Think Those Two Could go Together, Did You?
BikePortland is Your Go-to Source for Human Powered News in the Rose City and Beyond
Although, and as we're sure you've already guessed, BikePortland.org focuses its news and events coverage on Portland, Oregon, it also follows bicycle and progressive transportation happenings on Capitol Hill
and throughout the rest of the country. The site is also about to begin running a regular "Bike Science" column, written by an experienced engineer and bicycle component manufacturer, that "will investigate and demystify the science behind
bikes, components, and accessories."
Even for its geographical bias, BikePortland news coverage is truly, ahem, fair and balanced, and readers engage in regular (and lengthy) discussions on developing issues, particularly surrounding bicycle infrastructure and the
re-envisioning of traffic as bicycling becomes more popular. And, since Portland strives constantly to be at the forefront of "progressive urbanism...and alternative transportation" (see our plug of ourselves in the "In The News" section
to the top left), the reportage and discussions at BikePortland are likely going to be similar to the discussions of those same issues in other American cities in the months and years to come. So, do yourself a favor and get in on the
ground floor. (And find yourself some bike fun while you're at it.)
Better World Club is proud to partner with BikePortland.org in its mission to realize a fun, safe, inspired, and bicycle friendly transportation future.

BWC Joins Reagan Secretary of State George Schultz and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in Opposing CA Prop 23
You Know, Just Our Usual Bedfellows
Proposition 23, the measure to suspend implementation of California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), is perhaps the most significant initiative that voters in any state will be considering
in November.
Not only will it affect the future of environmental legislation nationwide, but it will also be a test of Big Money's ability to manipulate the electorate.
Defeating Prop 23 is a priority of New Voice of Business, where Better World Club President Mitch Rofsky is a director. One of Better World Club's first policy initiatives was our support for AB 32, which requires California to reduce its
greenhouse gas emissions back to 1990 levels by the year 2020, in turn bringing California into near compliance with the Kyoto Protocol.
Prop. 23 would suspend California's greenhouse gas emission laws until the state's unemployment, currently 12.3%, drops to 5.5% for four consecutive quarters. Until this happens, the state would not be able to propose or adopt new
regulations under AB 32, nor could the state enforce previously adopted regulations.

You Gave in and Let Your Husband Join You on Vacation, Why Not Snickers?
Fly Your Pets in Comfort (And for the Right Price) with Pet Airways
Sometimes, circumstances surrounding moving, long-term travel, or simply detachment issues demand that pet owners fly with their beloved companions. Many airlines allow small animals to be carried onto an airplane as
carry-on luggage in small carriers that fit under the seats.
But that option can be stressful on some animals and can cost a pet owner around $150 dollars. What's more, the carry-on option only works for small animals that weigh less than 15 or 20 pounds, so larger dogs must be stored bellow the
cabin as checked luggage. Flying with large animals stored as cargo can set a passenger back as much as $700 depending on the weight of the animal and the airline.
Pet Airways, the only pets only airline will fly your pet to and from nearly a dozen U.S. cities.
