Answer 5

Okay, off the top of my head:

I buy local organic produce where possible (and if it isnt available, I'll choose the closest geographical location to me)

I also grow some food.

I eat vegetarian at least twice a week.

I shut off lights / water when possible and unplug appliances when I'm not using them (they secretly suck energy)

I use the fancy energy saving lightbulbs

I have a low flow toilet / showerhead

I do not use my car at least twice a week. If I need to get somewhere I use transit or walk. Or I think twice about going out at all.

I harrass politicians about logging.

I have vegetation in my yard / keep part of my yard wild.

Energy production is a big polluter, so the less energy you use, the better. The closer your food is produced, the less carbon emissions to get it to your table. The less you drive, the less emissions you spew into the atmosphere. There are no perfect answers on this one. I hope you get what you are looking for.

Answer 6

well, I'm attempting to become a vegetarian, which is helping the air because meatpacking makes lots of solution. I also bike places or walk sometimes instead of going in the car.
