When NOT driving the P-car, I drive my daily as smoothly as possible just like advised during track class. I gently squeeze the accelerator when starting and try to stay out of the turbo. I also try to maintain a reasonible following distance in stop and go-ish situation so I am not constantly stopping and starting. Smooth.
In the summer, I bicycle commute as much as I can. Even though I cannot bike the whole distance, I take the bike in the car to the least hazardous roads and start from there.
We recycle all paper, plastic, glass, motor oil, old paints, etc. We also compost our food and garden waste.
Yeah, it sounds like a lot of work, but it is we don't even know we are doing it.
Oh and weatherstrip your doors and windows to keep you heat use down. We put a curtain between out downstairs area and the stairs to trap the heat where we use it. Saves us $$, keeps us warmer, and saves propane.
Maybe I do this stuff cause I'm cheap, but it works for me.
