Switch energy suppliers

Ensuring that the energy that feeds your home or workplace is as close to renewable as possible is easy, thanks to the abundance of green energy suppliers. In the US, a list of green power providers by state is provided at http://apps3.eere.energy.gov/greenpower/buying/. In the UK, http://green.energyhelpline.com/energy will compare energy providers in terms of pricing, CO2 emissions and energy mix. In addition to reducing environmental damage, you may save money (or at least not spend any more money than you already are). Given the difficulty of quantifying and pro-actively reducing other forms of damage (psychological, emotional, etc.), this is pretty nifty.

Effort involved: just a bit of paperwork hassle, then you're home free.
