Answer by mark
Use recycled lumber, Use construction techniques that match the climate where you are building. In the south for example, that would be heat reflective surfaces and colors (like white roofs). Insulate well. Install solar collectors or a solar water heater. Install low flow toilets. Do not clear the land prior to building. You should trees as necessary to build but minimize where possible. Do not strip the land of topsoil (like development builders commonly do). Landscape to match the climate rather than installing plants/shrubbs and grass that require lots of water and are not native to the area where you live.
There are many other ideas as well
