You could start composting in your garden.Advertise to your neighbor saying to help the environment like :

Do not use aerosol sprays or something.

You could also make posters.

Answer 5

Get in touch with your local chapter of your Audobon Society and see if you can get involved in a local trash clean-up, or a docent program where they may have you speak to school children.  You can also see if your area has a local environmental resource conservation office, where you can get involved.  You can also participate in a backyard birdwatch with Cornell.  It is all done online..all you do is watch the birds in your yard and then report it to them for their scientific database.  You would be contributing to important scientific research.  You would have to get a bird guide and do some studying to recognize birds in your area..but the count does not take place until next February if you are still looking for a project then.
