I have a home that was built in 1949 that we have made some upgrade to. Since it’s Earthy Day, what’s a good site for determining how green or smart my home is? I know we need to make more improvements.

Start by measuring your electricity usage. Paying attention to your monthly bill is a good start but for real time measurement use an energy meter. I suggest a whole home energy meter like this Blueline Powercost Monitor: http://www.smarthome.com/9041/BLUEline-PowerCost-Monitor-and-Energy-Meter-BLI25100/p.aspx
That site also has a "How Smart is Your Home?" quiz that will rate your home according to your answers:
