The biggest thing I've done recently is get rid of my Explorer and bought a compact car. I didn't do it to be greener persay, but I was tired of how much it was costing me to fill up and it felt wasteful to drive. And even after 2 years of payments, the car is cheaper than the Explorer.
I re-use paper bags and recycle plastic bags. When possible boxes are re-used for moving or storage.
But I've read and heard (too tired looking for links) that recycling just causes more pollution. The recycling plants release fumes and waste that would not be there if they were not in operation.
