To stop all human activities which at present give rise to emissions of CO2 (which is causing most of the global warming problem) is a big task. The developed world likes its high energy consuming lifestyle with motor cars, air travel, air conditioning and other products which take energy to produce and sometimes to run. We cannot deny people in the less developed world the opportunity to drag themselves out of poverty but this will lead to them consuming more energy and producing more CO2. A good approach as a first step though is to try to stabilise the emissions of CO2 in the developed world and provide the developing world with technology that minimises the CO2 emissions involved in their development.
There are many technologies involved in reducing man's CO2 emissions:
- power production from sources that do not involve fossil fuels (e.g. hydro, wind, biomass, tidal, solar and nuclear)
- energy efficiency ie technology which gets more from the fuel which is used (more efficient industrial processes, cars, appliances etc)
- energy conservation (e.g. better insulation in our houses, doing less of the activities which use fuel for example by using a bicycle rather than a car)

Ask our grocery stores to stop using plastic bags.
They say that we only use these plastic bags (on average) for something like 20 minutes and yet they will last for decades in the ground.

Stop using oil as a fuel source. We have solar, wind, and hydrotechnology capable of powering our lives!

Recycling and walking or buying hybrid cars is bull, they're like someone who quits smoking on his deathbed.

We can start by not littering. Walk more, gas causes problems. Don't cut down our trees.
