What are some ways that I can help the environment ...

Hi Kari. I think that it is really cool that you care for the environment and want to help in your own way. I believe that the first step is education. Read a bit about the issues going on around you. This could be very empowering and will allow you to talk to others about the issues in a knowledgeable way. Read about Greenpeace and popular topics here. I would say being aware of recycling (cloth bags a supermarket, and recycling bottles in your house) is the first step. This is the way I began and as I learned more I got more involved.

Consume less. Prefer quality products to disposable short lived products. Recycle.

Great question. I think that if each of us can start by taking practical steps, we would not get frustrated, and say "let the other person do something, I can't do anything." Examples are changes we can make around the house that can reduce the amount of water we use on a daily basis – flushing the toilet, taking a shorter shower, water the lawn less often, etc. Recycling and separating our garbage. Use more energy efficient appliances. There are many websites on the Internet where there are ways we can all become more eco conscious. Lastly, if you are politically motivated, you can always join a Green party.

There are many great ways that you can help the environment. Recycle as much as you can. Buy reusable bags to take with you to the grocery store. Consider public transportation, walking or riding a bike instead of driving a car everywhere. Minimize the use of electricity in your house. Turn off lights if you are not using them or unplug items that you do not need to have on all the time. These are some small things that you can do.

Recycling is an easy way to start. Use less electricity and try to use energy saver products in the house. you can find different ways to help here: http://earth911.org/
