    I do all of the above! I think every little bit we can do helps. It"s easy to get in the habit of doing things like recycling, using less water (turn the faucet off when brushing your teeth!), turning liights out when not in the room and replacing bulbs with enery efficient bulbs. Another great habit to get in to is using a reusable bag when shopping. It takes an incredible amount of petrolium to product plastic! Also use a reusable water bottle....can you tell I can go on and on??!!

    I recycle and I am real careful about turning off the lights. I just had a new heat pump installed that should use less energy.

    The easiest thing for me to do is to conserve energy. I am always shutting things off in my house. I also bring my fabric bags to the grocery store and I try whenever possible to bring things down to my recycle bin.
