What are you doing to go “Green”?

What have you changed in your home and your life to be more eco-friendly?
Thanks!
In our house we got all new CFL light bulbs and we do save around $7-10/mo. But we just had 3 go out after being in for 1 year. And we are using a programmable thermostat to control heating/cooling costs.
We also keep our appliances unplugged when they are not being used. We recycle. I turn the water off when I brush my teeth. I wash all our clothes in cold water and air dry half our clothes. I do use my dishwasher, but I have it set to use warm water, not hot and I turned off the heated dry cycle.
I just sent several old cell phones to be recycled for free at:

I own my own natural pest control company
We have a garden where we get our food
I never use grocery store bags
We store our own rain water
We use our dirty dish water to help fertilize our garden
We only buy used cars, There is no need to buy a new car, they use more natural resources to make brand new cars than hybrid can save our enviroment in a lifetime
Never buy bottle water, they use an average of 60 billion gallons of oil a year just to make water. Its Sad :- (
Also stay away from the light bulds you use is highly toxic if its gets broken. You break just one they tell you to call a hazmat company. Read your label on the back.
