Answer 6

1. Recycling

2. Own a hybrid

3. Live downtown and rarely drive

4. give to various environmental charities EDF, Nature Conservancy, and the Sierra Club).

5. Vegan (probably one of the greatest positive impacts an individual can have on the environment as meat production in more energy intensive, and creates massive amounts of methane (20x's more powerful than CO2), as well as takes us to 16 pounds of grain to make one pound of beef).

6. Buy local goods. Being a locovore is key to helping the environment when our food is shipped an average of 1600 miles. I buy at the local co-ops and farmers markets. I also buy local woods, fragrance sprays, clothing and more. Whatever I can find that is of decent quality and price I buy over non-local.

7. Garden: I have planted many bushes trees and flowers over the last few years. I also have a food garden that brings local and sustainability to a whole new level.

8. Compost: Saves loads on trash and I need not by fertilizers and extra dirt.

9. Travel Less: Especially buy plane which literally releases tones of CO2 per passanger per trip.

10. Promote Awareness: We can't do this alone

11. Write elected officals to create green laws.

12. CFL's throughout my whole house.

13. Use solar and crank flashlands: They save me money and the environment in energy and the embodied energy of batteries.  

14. Use tote bags :America uses over 380 billion bags a year that will not decompose in the landfills.  

15. Drive filtered not bottled water which takes petroleum for each bottle you drink and through away.

16. Throw away a little as possible: I often find uses of people who want things many would through away out of laziness of wanting to deal with it.

17. Buy hemp clothing: grows more prolifically than cotton, is stronger fabric making it last longer, and requires no pesticides.

18. Buy recycled goods such as toilet paper, reclaimed materials for shoes, used clothing and construction materials, etc.

19. Added extra insulation into my houses

20. I could go on and on and on but I think this gives one a pretty good idea of what can be achieved if ones priority is for the environmental health of the world. And believe me this has not been a tremendous sacrifice but has given me more joy as my levels of awareness have grown as well as communities formed as a result.

Answer 7

More of afforestation in whatever possible and keep vehicles free from carbon emmissions by regular PUC cheack ups and taking necessary rectification care.

Answer 8

i follow these steps n i tell all my dears to do the same....

these steps should be taken to fight global warming:

*Look for energy qualified products

*Heating cooling conditioners should be tuned well once a year.

*Seal n insulate ur home.

*Reduce n reuse n recycle every thing u use.

*Grow more plants.

*Use water efficiently.

*Use ur personal vehicle as less as possible n when u cant walk, train or buss can be best options as u can imagine- 50 persons driving their personal cars would emit more polluting gases n waste more fuel than a single bus carrying them.

*Maintain ur vehicles well so that they stay fuel efficient.

All u need to do is to spread this message to everyone u possibly can.

through mails, seminars, sms, etc:)

Answer 9

I eat all of those methane producing cows.

I pay my taxes...which is the apparent solution to this problem.

I invest in oil companies so all of those profits won't fall into the hands of OTHER greedy capitalists.

I'm home schooling my 3 kids to save on gas...yeah that's why!

I vote small government by voting for the candidate with best track record on denying government extentions of power and spending.  There's nothing more damaging to the environment or the people than politicians.

Answer 10

No kids.    Oh, tiny not huge.   I walk most places if its under a mile or two and I have the time.

Answer 11

I have a beautiful garden and I am sure to use my cycle as I have a chance. The best thing I do is I don't use plastics bags.

Answer 12

I am running my computer 24 hours 7 days a week to help PREVENT the next ice age.

Answer 13

By not using my bike,I try to help nature to recoup itself,I use bicycle instead..

Answer 14

Answer 15

I've started a sustainability group in my home town (we're having a climate change forum tomorrow) which has a goal of helping as many people/schools/businesses/etc as possible to be more sustainable and a lower CO2 footprint.

I'm building a demonstration eco-home which produces more power and water than it consumes, and shows consumers just what we can and should be doing. As part of the project I've got the Master Builder's Association on board who will be using the house as a demo for other builders to learn an improve their products from. I'm a residential builder by the way...

And I've reduced my own impacts by

Voting for the environment

Using 100% certified Green energy (from wind farms in my area)

Having my Super in only ethical renewable energy stocks

Recycling/reducing/reusing/composting

Growing as much food as I can

Reducing my transport as much as possible and converting to LPG (it burns much cleaner)

And then cleaning up the rest with double offsetting (RECs and native tree plantings)

There's lots more to do though and time is short. We have to get cracking.

Answer 16

infact we should now stop using ACs cz AC is the biggest cz for global warming.......

Answer 17

i aware people abt it.

Answer 18

Walking to where I need to get. Fortunately I live close to a lot of things like the stores and the gym. Bad thing is, it's hard to walk anywhere else where I live for the majority of the population in my area.

Answer 19

1. I'm vegan. Many don't realize but a vegan lifestyle saves on carbon emissions, water, land degradation, and dangerous pesticides. Beef generates 24 times more carbon than an equivalent veggie meal.

3. I volunteer for conservation organizations

4. I study environmental engineering & law, & hope to be a practicing environmental lawyer some day soon.

Wow great answer Love of Truth.

[edit]: I agree with you Belnite. It amazes and dissapoints me to see ignorant people denying undisputable scientific evidence of global warming and the current environmental crisis the planet is suffering. They throw around psudo-science in support of their shaky and pathetic attempts to deny that our planet is suffering and slowly dying.

Yahoo news announced a new study that washing your jeans always result in Global warming......

I am not going to wash my jeans always....only wash it after 4 or 5 uses......

Want to do your bit to combat climate change? Wear your jeans at least thrice before washing them and then do so in cold water, don't use the dryer and not the iron either, says the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
