SOME PRACTICAL THINGS YOU CAN DO
Change a light: Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent one will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
Drive less: Walk, bike, carpool or take public transport more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive.
Recycle more: You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.
Check your tires: Inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of petrol saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!
Use less hot water: It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead, 350 pounds of CO2 saved per year.
Avoid products with a lot of packaging: You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
Adjust your thermostat: Moving your thermostat just 2 degrees down in winter and up 2 degrees up in summer, could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, No, Yes, Yes. Great Question... Recycling your aluminum cans alone can save 95% of the energy that would be used to manufacture a new can from raw ore.

I might add; never use plug in air fresheners when passive ones will do (15 watts 24/7). And don't sit in a drive through. How much gas is burned waiting in line?
