Answer 1

The thing that will have the greatest impact in possibly slowing or reversing the trend of global warming, is to scrutinize all politicians running for office in your area - local, state or federal - for their philosophy regarding this topic: then get out and VOTE for those who you believe to have the best policies on this matter.  VOTE, VOTE, VOTE.

Answer 2

Are you a coffee drinker?  You can switch to shade grown coffee, which uses little if any pesticides because the canopy is left in place, providing important habitat for migratory songbirds.  

I try to buy products manufactured close to home.  When I began to notice how many products were manufactured in China, I began an effort to support North American companies, or at least nations with an above-average track record on environmental issues.

You can plant trees, grow a garden, and use native plant species in your yard.

Eat out less, buy products with the least amount of packaging, and organize your errands so you drive as little as possible and don't waste gas.  Then again, maybe you could ride your bike, or use mass transit at least once a week.

There's a lot you can do, I'm glad to hear that you're getting into some good habits!

Answer 3

Recycle or start some group/petitions.

Answer 4

-Avoid the energy waste associated with bottled water by carrying your own, reusable bottle filled with filtered water from home.  

-Don't use styrafoam cup, plates, etc.

-Bring and reuse your own plastic bags when you go shopping, or carry a canvas tote.

It's a simple as it always was: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

Answer 5

Quit using your hair dryer, straightener and cell phone.  And while you're at it, stop shopping, driving, video gaming, texting, microwaving, refrigerating, tv-watching, heating, cooling, producing and consuming.

It's for Our Mother.  You love Our Mother, right?

Answer 6

Do what's on around you, Recycleling all the stuffs till drop and put them on basket.

Be a volunteer of the forest plantation in the third countries which have the deforestation, join the world organization in UN or any NGO around you.

Answer 7

Very seriously. Stop being a consumer.

Answer 8

Save the planet from what?  Global warming?, no because we are not causing it.  Ozone depletion?, no because the sun creates ozone and we are not causing it.  Forest depletion?, no because we plant more than we cut down.  The thing you can do most is to not use electricity when you don't need it because it costs money to manufacture it and saving electricity will keep the cost for you and the power companies down.  Don't litter, that is just common sense.
