Recycle your food scraps in the yard waste (if available in your area) or start your own com­post bin

Pay all your bills online

Unplug appliances (coffee maker, toaster, printer, etc) when they are not in use

Rather than drive, walk to dinner at your local restaurant (weather permitting)
 

LOW COST

Switch your light bulbs to CFLs

Use a programmable thermostat

Lower your heat at night

Use reusable bags for shopping

Try to shop & eat locally

Buy a low flow shower head

Buy appliances that are energy efficient (not always low cost but will save you money on utility bills)

Buy biodegradable products (cups, napkins, plates, etc)
