Hello perla,
i would suggest to put a big stone into the toilet water, so that when you flush it, there will be around 0.50 liter less water wasted than normal. And when one person flushes per day 3 to 4 times you'll save per person around 2 liter/day, per year it will be more than 700 liters saved.
Replace the old lamps with the new energy-saving lamps. They have not only 5 times longer life time, but also use around 70-80% less energy than the normal ones. Only the price will be 3-4 times higher, but after some months this money is already saved because they use less energy!
Use the aircondition less or make it one or two Celsius higher, then it hasn't to cool down that often and is will stay longer in energy-saving mode.
