This guy in Massachusetts reduced his home power consumption by so much that the power company audited him. They thought he'd messed with his meter, but in fact he just installed standard energy efficient devices. Fluorescent light bulbs, switches on outlets, energy saver appliances and effective insulation.
Also interesting is the global analysis of pollution tonnage. Sure we have the highest gross pollution tonnage, but we also have the highest per capita pollution. Sounds a little dismal, and it is disgusting that we're so excessive. But think of it this way, an individual can directly reduce more emission than in places with high tonnage but lower per capita numbers.
