We grow our own container veggies as we don't have a backyard. We combine all errands that need to be done by car into one run where as we used to grocery shop every day, now we make a list for the week and get it all in one shot. We make sure we do full loads of laundry and not little ones and use cold water. Shorter showers, turn off water heater during the day when no one is home to use hot water, tank is so small doesn't take long to heat up at all, acutally still very warm when we get home. I'm sure there is more, just can't think of them right now. we recycle all bottles, cans, newspaper, cardboard even if you can’t get any money for them (ie-glass bottles here in HI can get you 5cents back).

Our city collects all recyclable products. We try to do all of our errands at one time. We wash full loads only of laundry. None of these are big steps, but they all help.
