well, besides the thousands of trees planted every year, and the erosion control projects, and general public education efforts involved in my job position, I'd say the biggest impact we have in the area of environmental conservation is our choice not to have children......that's huge........ we do some recycling, but not full tilt as many city folk do........and we do have a pretty nice one acre landscaped yard that requires no irrigation due to appropriate native plant and turf choices, I did install an irrigation system but that is only used 3 or 4 times a year to water in pre-emergent/fertilizers....... we don't do much driving on a personal level since Terri works closeby to the house and we're pretty much homebodies on the weekends
but how does the $1 extra for wind generated electricity work???.... there can't be direct lines, it must be a donation to build more wind plants since most states are around 2%-4% wind power contributed to the overall power grid
