Answer 3

Simple. Avoid wasting energy. Turn off lights when not in a room. Do not leave water running while your wash, brush teeth, etc. If you pour a glass of water, drink all of it, or pour the excess onto your houseplants or in your pet's water bowl, don't dump it down the sink. Eat and drink the foods you buy, do not waste it. Recycle all plastics, metals, glasses, and card stock, paper, cardboard materials, including magazines, and newspapers. Reuse old possesions or give them aways to someone who will have a use for them or donate them to charity or sell them, do not toss them out along the side of the road or in a landfill.

Do not drive more than absolutely necessary, use public transportation whenever possible. Walk or bike more, much more. If you have some land with your home, consider a garden for yourself and compost vegetable, fruit peelings and other kitchen organic garbage with soil and raked leaves and grass clippings to form a mulch pile which can then be used as fertilizer for all potted and planted flowers, gardens, shrubs, etc. These are the quickest things, there are so many more, like taking shorter showers, doing full loads of laundry, using cold water for laundry, not using paper towels, use cloth instead.

Answer 5

lots of green web sites out there.  It depends on how much you want to get involved.

first of all you can start at home by changing out all your lightbulbs and buying energy efficient appliances.

take walks when you can instead of driving.

buy fuel efficient cars.  Lower the amount of trips you take during the week, compound your chores.  Iinstead of going to the bank one day and going to the grocery the next, go the same day.  

Buy local produce.  Cost less to ship.

Conserve water at home, turn off lights, etc.  

Close shades during the day, buy a programmable thermostat.

Answer 7

let me tell you how too help your environment:  Its easy, DO NOTHING, THE ENVIRONMENT IS NOT IN TROUBLE. You have been brainwashed too believe that the environment is in trouble when it really isnt.  Stop watch Al Gore's movie and move on with your life.  Use that energy that you want too use too save a whale and do something important like pushing your congressman too enact the Fair Tax so we all can stop being punished for working in this country
