What are some easy ways that you can improve energy efficiency and be more eco-friendly in your rental apartment?
For starters, you can add weather stripping to outside-facing doors and windows. If your landlord doesn't want to pay for it, then it can be found cheaply on aliexpress. Also, add insulation outside-facing switch covers and outlet plates.

In addition to the socket sealers on outlets you can caulk any gaps between the outlet box and drywall. (Don't put anything inside the outlet box)
The same thing can be done with can light fixtures if youโre on the top floor
Is here any kind of caulk to be aware of to avoid electrical fire hazard?
I don't think so. As long as nothing gets inside the outlet box there should be no fire hazard. There are acoustic caulk that don't dry out and crack, which helps with sound proofing. I've heard Red Devil caulk works just as well, but it's less expensive because it doesn't have "acoustic" on the label
