Let your dishes air dry. A dishwasher uses more energy to dry dishes than to wash them. If your dishwasher doesn't have an automatic air-dry switch, turn off the control knob after the final rinse and prop the door open to let moisture escape.
Use your dishwasher only for full loads. Be sure it is full, but not overloaded when you turn it on. Improper loading can result in poorly cleaned dishes which then need to be rewashed.
If you are in the market for a new dishwasher, look for energy saving features.
