Learned about The Alliance for Climate Education (ACE), a non-profit org "dedicated to educating America's high school students about the science behind climate change and inspiring them to do something about it—while having fun along the way."
I think their message and tips apply to all of us. I've copied some of their energy-reduction tips here:
1.Use compact florescent light bulbs - they use 1/4 the energy and last 10 times longer.
2.Unplug lamps and electronics when not in use. Even when turned off they use energy. Do this and reduce your carbon output by 1000 lbs.
3.Buy eco-friendly products.
4.Stop buying things you don't need.
5.Reuse, reuse, reuse. Shop at thrift stores, garage sales, etc.
6.Recycle.
7.Stop buying bottled water. Fill up at home and carry your own in an eco-friendly bottle made out of stainless steel.
How many of these things are you doing?
