We are really trying to go green. We recycle, use the new bulbs, turn off lights when not in use, use dishwasher at night, try not to use washer/dryer until we have full load, use low flush toilets (I think that's what they're called) and re-use our shredded paper for mailing things as cushioning material..

We give pref to recyled items when we shop..and use it circulating within our family and friends.

We switched all our lightbulbs to the CFL lightbulbs, also when brushing our teeth, we make sure to turn off the tap. We re-print on the backsides of paper to get the full use of one sheet, and instead of driving to the train station where I commute to work, I purchased a small foot propelled scooter, so now not only am I not driving but I am also getting a mini workout in before and after work

We just recycle and reuse. We are considering the solar option and are looking into it.

Every time a light bulb burns out we replace them with energy savers. We also have a no light during the day rule.

We always recycle and turn off the lights when we're not using them! We're also starting to use green cleaners and dishwashing soap!

We recycle quite a bit now. Our Trash bin is not so full anymore! We are using compact fl lightbulbs, combining our errands to use less gas, turning the thermostat down in winter & up in summer, buying more "green" products.
