How much is possible to be practically put in practice?

To answer your question

I live in Ireland.... (some of it may not be applicable in India)

I have only CFLs in my house.
All my electrical appliances are A rated.
I compost all my organic waste at home
I use a recycle bin for paper.
I take any recyclable material to the recycling centre atleast once a month (includes plastics, metal, wood, paper, cardboard, etc)
I try and walk to any place that is within half an hour's walking distance (upto 3km) when ever possible.
Though most of my friends have suggested that I buy a second car, I still have stuck to only one car which we use as a family car.
My husband takes the train to work.
I buy only gift vouchers as gifts for others so they can buy what they need instead of me buying something that they will not use.
Most of the stuff that I use for my son is hand-me-downs. The moses-basket, pram, travel-cot, and a whole pile of other things!
I try not to buy new clothes specifically for Diwali, pongal, birthdays, etc!
Instead of buying flowers for people, I buy plants for them.
I try and grow my own vegetables.
I do not buy stuff just because they are on a sale!

This is just a sample, now tell me if it is easy and practiable to practise simple things to make life better for the next generation
