What are you doing to go green?

(Dominic chavez/globe staff)

"We actually just had an energy audit with NStar. It was so exciting. They came out to the house. He changed every light bulb in our house. They sealed everything up from the attic to every window. I can't even tell you, just from them doing it, it's so much warmer. I could be a spokesperson for this now. Now, in my store, all my bulbs are energy saving, except for the track lighting." - CIBELINE SARIANO, owner/designer, Cibeline

"This is a small change I've made. Instead of buying bottled water, I have one plastic water bottle at home and one at work that I continually refill with tap water. I get my eight glasses of water in each day, yet just use the same bottle[s]." - CAROL FULP, vice president, community relations, John Hancock Financial Services

"I do something that my father used to tell me to do. . . . I run around and turn off all the lights that aren't needed. I also do something Al Gore told me to do and that's crush empty water bottles and other plastic bottles so that they take up less space, even for recycling. I was just at a presentation at Gillette Stadium and afterward I collected up all the bottles and crushed them. They asked me what I was doing and I told them it's what Al Gore said we should do." - BRYAN RAFANELLI, president/chief designer, Rafanelli Events

"I only wash in cold water, saving energy and preserving the clothes. I reuse plastic grocery bags for garbage and doggie pooper scoopers." - TONY COREY, owner/designer, Anthony Corey Neckwear

"We are really trying to live green in our house. We recycle - plastics, paper, etc. - everything. [Our son] Justin, who is now 4, is responsible for making sure all the recyclable materials go in the proper bins and helps his dad take them out for trash day." - DANNY T. LEVY, Massport spokeswoman

"We have 40 arbor vitae trees on our roof that my husband [Stephens] tends to and wraps in the winter. He makes those trees his project. It's a 1,200-square-foot roof in the South End, so that gives us our own oasis because we also have six blueberry bushes, which we have to put netting around because of the birds, and one cherry tree up there." - MOLLY DUNNE, socialite and community activist

"Feeding all my scraps to the chickens. We compost. I put in five more gardens at the house so I could grow my own vegetables for home and for the restaurant." - DEBBIE LEWIS, owner, 29 Newbury

"We've started to recycle. Before, we thought we didn't have the room or just couldn't do it. Now we've built it into our daily life and our home. I have a teenage daughter - she's all about tomorrow and I'm glad we're now focused on that." - LYNN A. DALE, director, bicentennial planning, programming and special events, Massachusetts General Hospital
