If you have halogen lights, consider replacing some with LEDs. If you have filament lights, consider replacing all with energy savers. If you have air-conditioning or heating use it less. Returning to equipment, a 19-inch monitor will normally use less energy than a similar 22-inch one. You can also get desktops built around mobile (low power) CPUs. The last time I looked, mobile AMD Semprons and Mobile Intel Celerons weren't bad, however the saving is likely to be less than 50 watts (but a quiet PC is nice). Since this is a home/office, it's hard to see how you might justify green claims unless your whole house is green, and you drive a small car, and recycle etc... Kaled.
In terms of equipment, there isn't a whole lot you can do (that will make a real difference). However, good habits can have a noticeable effect (such as not leaving computers running screen savers for hours on end).
