Nothing much but the real question you should be asking is how much damage will you be doing to your wallet. I don't know how big your house is but you could be easily consuming over a thousand watts per hour.

Assuming 10 cents per kilowatt hour, and a coal-fired powerplant that releases 2 pounds CO2 per KWH, for every dollar extra on your electric bill, you've put 20 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere, about the same as a gallon of gas.
It is hard to quantify the damage you will do to the planet this way, because a lot depends on governments. One person's impact is paltry compared to the actions of many.
The US government can take many actions to reduce the danger we are in from global warming. Some easy, some expensive or controversial. Forest fire policy is a key area where anything the government does is going to completely overshadow what we do in our homes.

Not much... but if you're worried you can make up for it by recycling plastic bags. That way you can help save artificial trees!
