Recycle. It's easy when the City of Albuquerque picks it up outside your front door.
Replace lights with CF bulbs. Cold Cathode Fluorescent bulbs contain 85% less mercury than regular bulbs and save anywhere from $80 - $250 per year.
Use cold water for laundry loads and save up to $60 per year. Use less energy to boot.
Bike or walk to work. In addition to saving anywhere from $300 - $600 a year, there are health benefits as well.
Eat less meat. Cutting your meat consumption in half on average is like walking to work rather than driving.
