Huge (for an American, anyway) changes I've made recently:

- biking to work more than half the time;
- when commuting, switched to a very small (VW Beetle) TDI running on WVO-sourced biodiesel;

- ditched our old oil furnace for a super-high-efficiency gas furnace;
- replaced most of the windows in our house with new, energy-efficient ones;

See, there are plenty of us 'Merkins making voluntary changes to reduce energy consumption. And guess what? There's a very real economic incentive for us to do so. My auto fuel and heating bills have plummetted since making the relevant changes above, both of which will be cash-flow-positive in a short while.
