So, what do you do? <Tree-hugging thread alert>

All the good I do for the environment in circumstantial.

My tv is never left on standby; tv is shit.
I ride a bike everywhere; cars cost money and I'm a bum.
I never use plastic carrier bags; a backpack is the only way to carry things since I ride a bike.

I don't really care about the environment.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Current law only requires large-scale users of fluorescent bulbs to dispose of them properly, but I imagine once CF bulbs become more widespread they'll require it of normal people as well.

It just makes them substances like used oil from your car, leftover electronics (lead and mercury in them), batteries which you'll have to take care of.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I try to get everyone I work with in the restaurant to use both sides of the papers we write orders on. I actually get really irritated when they dont, or when the cooks just throw them away before I can take them back to use the second side. I dont see the problem... we're saving trees and money, because 2 sides = more paper = having to buy new notepads so often.

Other than regular recycling and not littering, thats all that I can think of right now. I'm horrible with electricity (almost ALWAYS have a fan running, even in the winter), and have gotten really lazy since getting my license... but then again, I'll be moving to the NYC area in a year or so, so public transportation will be taken as opposed to a car.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
