My mom and dad do a lot. They are both vegan which really helps reduce the carbon foot print. They also changed all our light bulbs to CFL's (Every one in the whole house!) Dad had an energy audit and they came in and tested our house for energy efficiency. Our house did very well! They did some insulating but that was all. All of our appliences are energy saving, mom washes the clothes in cold water, we recycle, and we have a low flow shower head and toilets. We use biodegradable poop bags and eco-friendly cat litter. Mom and dad also have stainless steel water bottles and we have a filter right in our refrigerator so we don't buy water in plastic bottles.

Thanks for sharing. I wish my mum and dad would have the house checked out to find out where all of our energy is going too.

If you have NStar, check with them. They do energy audits too. They also reimburse you 75% on improvements (Up to $1500). My dad can tell your mom all about it on Saturday. We had a private company come in. I don't remember the name off the top of my head. NStar paid for most of it!
