We do little things but we could do more. Long Beach has a great recycling program which we take advantage of. Chris takes the train to work when he can and maybe that offsets the gas used by my 21 MPG car - which I drive around town constantly. We use proper light bulbs when available and watch our outside water usage. We use fabric grocery bags about 50% of the time. But, I DO use my heater in the house and I'm not going to get rid of my car any time soon and, until fuzzy water comes out of the taps, we buy cases at a time.
I have a lot of bigger eco projects I would like to do - plant a water-wise landscape and install a drip system and get new insulation in the attic. The windows are leaky but that's not going to change anytime soon. It just takes money to be as eco and I'd like to be.
