A few of things that I have done:
1. Stack bags of leaves against the north and west sides of my house during winter to increase the insulation. In the spring, I compost the leaves and store the bags to use again.
2. Planted a garden. I started small and have expanded each year.
3. Bought a rain barrel made from recycled materials. In fact, I plan to buy a few more because they collect a lot of rain for me use on my vegetables.
4. CFLs everywhere.
5. Got a new job that reduces my commute from 100 miles a day to 30 miles a day--and I hope to eventually find a job that I can walk to.
6. Use the clothesline.
7. Make a conscious effort to buy more food made closer to home.
