Also, I replaced already 5 years ago my 17 inch CRT with a 17 inch LCD, and have a smaller lcd tv instead of a big crt one. I also have aggressive power saving settings for my pcs, even more than yours - monitor switch off afer 3 minutes, hibernate none while I work, but I do that manually when I go away for an extended time period. Since many devices do not have mechanical power switches anymore, I plug everything to standby savers, so I can switch off devices entirely, not just to standby mode. I use rechargeable batteries for everything. Since I have a car (8 years) I try to follow eco driving rules. Well, it's about most important things...
