1. Lighting
Replace all incandescent light bulbs in your home and business with compact fluorescent ("twisty bulbs"). (e.g., I've replaced all bulbs in our home except for the small-socket bulbs in the chandelier above our piano.)
Turn off light bulbs unless you absolutely need them on, like when you're in the shower (if you have a window!).
2. Transportation
Ride your bike to work or purchase an electric car or invest in one, or a hybrid.
3. Computers
PCs: configure your computer to shutdown after 1 hour of non-use (Start Menu > Control Panel > Power Options > Power Schemes tab).
4. Vacations
Consider foregoing a "airline-based vacation" instead for a local vacation.
5. Diet
Living a vegan diet saves more fossil fuels than owning a Toyota Prius hybrid automobile?
Try to eat fruits and vegetasbles that are (1) grown locally (2) in season (3) organic.
6. Energy Production
Install a next-generation backyard wind generator and save 30-90% of your home energy needs.
7. Consumerism
Swap, don't buy: swap gift cards + +, CDs, DVDs, Books, or anything.
