We just replaced both of our toilets with low flow versions. It is amazing how little water they use! We have also replaced both shower heads with water saver units. Most of our light bulbs are now florescent, but our reading lamps we had to leave with the incandescent bulbs. Just not enough light with the others. We have curbside recycling for our cardboard, plastic, glass and newspapers. I have been wanting to replace the washer and dryer with more energy efficient models, but can't justify throwing out working machines. But they are 23 years old, how much longer can they last?
