How can i make my house “Green” without the cost?

Im really want to get into the saving the planet thing, global warming prevention… getting a green house, only problem is I dont have much money. what are inexpensive ways of doing this? so far I use less water and keep the lights off when not in the room… what else can i do?

Lots of good answers so far. Here’s my list:

Eat Vegan and compost everything you don’t eat.
Save your “cold run” water from the shower for plants.
Wear a sweater before turning on/up the heat.
Replace incandescent bulbs with flourescent or LED, but wait until you need to; no reason to spend the money now, but when you need to buy a replacement bulb, buy the best most efficient bulb you can.
Grow plants.
Unplug “smart” appliances if you’re not using them. All those little clock displays take a dribble of electricity; like a leaking tap.
Fix all your leaking plumbing.
Insulate: try to avoid using heating or cooling.
Shop for products with less packaging.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. (Repeat)
Tell your freinds to do the same.

Thank you for asking.
