Want other ideas? Below are some of the things I do:
1. Have mostly eco-friendly light bulbs
2. Take advantage of the recycle programs at home & work
3. Try to carry my own travel mup & make coffee/tea at work
4. Bring lunch to work
5. Drive a hybrid
6. Have house plants in every room of the house & in my office
7. Buy mostly free range, grass-fed meat
8. Only get organic eggs
9. Buy local veggies when possible
10. Buy Horizon 2% reduced fat, organic milk
11. Have one dinner per week that’s vegetarian
12. Purchase vintage furniture, gifts/decor from antique malls
13. Stay at sustainable B&B’s/hotels while on vacation
14. Use breeze to cool house whenever possible
15. Do not buy bottled water but use tap

You are probably already doing a lot of eco things and might not even realize it. If so congrats, and I hope you'll add one more! God gave us a beautiful earth and I want to care for it and appreciate Him for it.
