We walk or use public transport. I've never had any interest in learning to drive, and in NW England public transport is very good on the whole.
We use less water in the toilet cistern by putting a thing in between the thing and the, um, thing.
we recycle where neccessary, but we try to produce as little rubbish as we can, and re-use things where possible. I tend to think that the recycling-as-panacea thing is a bit misleading, because it doesn't really encourage people to produce less waste, or re-use things. It should be a third option, especially recycling is an industry itself, with all the problems of industry. When I'm at environmental events, that kind of talk sends people into a rage, which is quite funny.
We use as little electricity etc as possible.
We try to freeze food that would otherwise go off, so as little is thrown away as possible.
We buy ethical/environmentally friwndly products wherever possible.
Probably other things too.
