It would be nice if "stuff" just did itself; of course, nothing gets done without doing it. The same as doing the dishes, laundry or dusting, if you don't practice "green" methods, they will not get done either. Luckily for us, most things that will help reduce carbon footprints and help the environment take waaay less time than the daily chores and are often far easier too.
A few simple things that come to mind: use cold water for all laundry loads, your laundry will still get clean and you use less fuel by not heating the water; compost your food waste, not only will you be creating the compost, you will be reducing landfill; and mow the lawn less, yes, less, a longer lawn will actually grow healthier and you use less fuel by mowing less frequently. I don't mean you should try growing a jungle where your lawn is now, but an extra inch or two can still have a manicured appearance (raise the wheels or the blades on the mower).
So, get to it and make life easier and better! :)
