My wife likes us to recycle so when she is around I recycle newspaper, plastics, cardboard and metal cans. Whne she isn't I will often just throw it out if it seems like a pain to take to the bins. But I probably end up recycling at least 75% of stuff.
I own an SUV and drive a lot. Trips up to Calgary and back at least once a month if not more. We own a fuel efficient second vehicle but don't really drive it much. We got it for monetary reasons not for environmental.
My wife is big on recycling so I guess that is my big contribution to the environment, otherwise I don't think about making choices based on it at all.
