Big changes, no sacrifices

I currently drive a prius and power my home by PV (Solar) panels. The next step is solar hot water (when the funds allow). I take mass transit when possible - am looking to commit 1 day a week to public transport. Also teach worm composting classes (am a master composter). Simple things like using CF lights, have all 'ghost' appliances on power strips turned off at night, compost/recycle/reuse - limit trucking of waste off to landfills. Buy locally grown food - in season. Next step for me - solar hot water and maybe greywater (have to find a way around those city ordinances).
