I also have the largest vegetable garden my small urban backyard will allow - we ate squash and green onions from it just tonight for dinner. I also got sick of paying lots of bucks for fresh herbs for cooking, not to mention I felt guilty about all the packaging and transport for the herb packages at the store, so now I have an extensive potted herb garden on my patio also. We also try to buy local produce whenever possible and have had a local farm share in other summers. And we drive a fuel-efficient vehicle when we have to drive.

Not sure what else we can do to reduce our personal energy use. We have a flat roof and I would love to have solar panels up there but the cost is pretty much totally prohibitive.

I'd say my money has been where my mouth is for a while, though.
