Household carbon emissions?

hey, I’m researching what effect an eco friendly house would have on the environment, and i need some answers. Percentages would be great.

How many gasses ( or what percentage of gasses) would you save using

-solar power and opposed to conventional with micro hydro as a back up?
-Using energy saving light bulbs?
-using natural light during the day?
-using a fire and warm clothes instead of a gas heater?

And how much water would you save using
- a water tank?
-A water saving shower head?
-sensor basins?
-front load washing machine?
-grey water for dishes etc. ?

How much would the average energy bill be for a 2300 sq ft house?

how much does it cost each month to power a normal house using fossil fuels and also using solar power?
how much would be saved using solar power?

How many solar panels or wattage does it take to run the lights in the home?

I want to save money by using solar power, where I can.I already turn off lights when I am not in a room. I live in a 16 X 80 2000 trailer. But I only use the kitchen and my room most of the time. I have already bought a oil filled heater just for my room for the winter, instead of turning on the furnace. Can anyone help go green and save money.
