As you point out, buying a hybrid car is a big, expensive step to take. But there’s plenty you can do to improve the gas mileage on the car you have right now.
-Drive the speed limit or lower, especially on the highway! Your car gets the best mileage at 55 MPH. Your fuel efficiency gets dramatically worse above 65. Driving slower may take a little longer, but it’s better for the environment – and cheaper!
-Don’t drive aggressively. Speeding through lights and slamming on the brakes all the time wastes a lot of gas.
-If you have a bike rack or other heavy items in or on your car, remove them unless you need to transport those items specifically.
-Don’t leave the car idling for too long. As a rule of thumb, if you’ll be idling for less than a minute, it’s okay to leave the engine running, as it uses gas to start up a stopped car. But any more than a minute, and you’re better off turning the car off.
-It is actually more fuel-efficient to use the air conditioner, especially on the highway. Rolling down your windows creates drag, thus you need more gas to power your car.
These are just a few car-related tips that can really help your mileage. They’re easy and don’t require any big adjustments, just a little attention to detail while you’re driving. Then you’re helping to save the earth… and save yourself a few bucks!

Move to Jamestown and ask for a glass of koolaid. You’ll never admit another micro of CO2 again, and you’ll contribute to the soil as well.

Here’s 14-ish ways to do it, and you won’t even notice it within a few weeks… my family’s been doing this for years…. not only are you saving the environment, you’re saving quite a bit of money.
1. Turn off unnecessary appliances & lights when not in use. (Even the stuff on stand-by mode). Buy Energy Star products.
2. Buy compact fluorescent lightbulbs.
3. Recycle.
4. If you have a yard, get a composter (here in Quebec you can get them for a few bucks from the recycling center). Use the soil in the garden and watch the plants flourish like crazy. Virtually everything can go in here… fruits (not citrus), vegetables (not onions, garlic), dead plants & cut flowers, eggshells, coffee grounds (with the filter), tea bags, stale bread, wet newspaper. Contrary to popular belief it leaves.. NO SMELL.(Between this and recycling, our family of SIX ADULTS puts out approx. 2 small plastic grocery bags of garbage, twice a week).
5. Bring your own bags to the store. Nevermind getting paper.
6. In the summer, turn your a/c down 2 degrees. In the winter, turn your heat down 2 degrees. Don’t heat/cool rooms you don’t use. Turn thermostats even further down when no one is home. Concurrently, make sure your doors and windows to the outdoors are properly sealed. Air dry clothes, especially if it’s a hot, sunny day… it will actually take less time.
7. Don’t litter.
8. Use biodegradable products for personal hygeine, and housecleaning (there’s quite alot out there!)
9. Avoid unecessary water use (turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, don’t take excessively long showers/baths, you don’t need to flush for every little thing (I know people who wipe off makeup with tp and flush!)). Wear your clothes twice (ie- jeans).. if they smell fine and look fine, they are! Use cold water to wash.
10. Find ways to reuse things. (ie- a mayo jar is great for storing craft stuff.)
11. Buy locally-grown produce.
12. Whenever feasible; walk. take a bike. If not, it might actually be faster/better to take the BMW – Bus, Metro (Subway), Walk.
13. Write a letter/email to the federal government explaining your outrage that the US has not yet signed the Kyoto accord. (Probably the biggest thing you can do).
14. Whenever possible, avoid styrofoam products. Cups, plates etc… it’s BBQ season now, and styrofoam takes over 100 years to decompose, get disposable paper plates etc… and plastic (recyclable) cups.

There are many things you can do to more environmentally friendly and many of them would actually save you money.
Shut off the air conditioner and open the windows. Yes, it gets a little warm but it helps a lot.
Change light bulbs to energy efficient ones. But why waste the ones you have now, just change them as they burn out.
Recycle as much as possible. Paper, plastic, glass, aluminum cans can all be recycled.
Lower the temperature on your hot water heater. This will save a lot of energy and money.
Hand wash dishes instead of using a dishwasher. This uses less water and energy.
Only wash clothes when there is a full load and if possible dry them on a clothes line instead of in the dryer.
Should I go on. These are all things that I have done for many years and I don’t believe the global warming hype.

Easy things to do are to…
1. replace one or more incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, that is if you are able to get them at the store
2. convince whoever washes your cloths to use cold water or volunteer to clean – cold water washes just as well as warm
3. dry your cloths outside if it’s very hot and sunny
4. unplug any electronics that aren’t in use
5. don’t leave one light bulb on for more than 3 hours a day – trust me, 3 hours is a long time especially on a sunny day
