I stay noided
Conservation-wise.
My family is generally average. We don't have an air conditioner, which saves electricity, we don't have a second fridge, and my sister never flushes the tolet, if that counts. We have two toyota camrys, and I'm not sure how green they are but they seem sorta average. We have a lot of plants in the back yard and mow around once a month, and our front yard is mulch so there's no mowing or watering necessary there. We (or, at least, I) turn off the lights and usually keep them off while I'm still in the room unless it's nighttime. We have fires in the fireplace around once a year. And we recycle a LOT.
That's about it for the good stuff. The bad stuff: Long showers, except my dad. We use a plastic bag a day for scooping the catbox. My dad commonly forgets to turn off the grill. We do a lot of laundry. We use a lot of batteries (not sure if batteries or electricity is worse). And our computers stay on all day.
