Replace incandescent bulbs with energy efficient ones

Switch to Energy Saving Light Bulbs 

One of the best things you can do for the planet is also one of the simplest. If every home in America replaced one traditional incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (known as a CFL), we would save enough energy to light more than 2.5 million homes for a year, and prevent the CO2 emissions equivalent of nearly 800,000 cars from entering the atmosphere. These energy-saving bulbs last 13 times longer and use only a quarter of the energy as traditional light bulbs. Now just imagine what a difference it would make if you changed all of the light bulbs in your house!
