I've made a few changes to my lifestyle, not because of the carbon tax per se as I was trying to reduce my footprint before the tax but it worked well for me for the last couple of years.
I can't afford triple pane windows so I've taken to buying the $5 plastic sheets from Canadian tire to put over my windows.
I've dropped the heat from 23 to 20 degrees, not sweater temps but it has made a difference.
Yes lights are turned off whenever a room is left but I also have a spare room which I shut the vents and close the door when it isn't needed. You can even take it more extreme and do it for all bedrooms and only open the vents right before bed.
I've changed my car's autostart from 15 to 5 mins and even though I never really did it I convinced (along with the carbon tax) my friends to not leave their trucks running while they run into the store "for just 5 mins".
These all seem like little things that don't matter, but it all adds up.
