We use compact fluorescent bulbs, recycle and compost/green bin, take public transit or walk in the city, carpool to get to work (in a small, efficient car), wash with cold water (I don't think I've ever dry-cleaned anything), hang about half our laundry to dry (we just literally don't have a configuration in our house or yard that would let us hang a full load of laundry)... and, um, little things, like I wash and reuse Ziploc bags, reuse shopping bags when I use them or simply use a backpack for shopping. And now I shower at the gym, which doesn't necessarily help the environment (though I do tend to take cool showers since I'e just worked out), but it does save us money.
