Yes, I'm concerned... more like disappointed that our pollution has made such an impact on the planet and so many people just don't care and keep living life just for themselves without regard to the next generation or other species.

I'm doing whatever I can...
Have a garden, plant trees, bushes and native species plants.
Commute to work instead of 5 or 6 cars going to the same place.
Plan my excursions/errands so I don't drive around unnecessarily.

Buy bulk food to reduce amount packaging.
I'm a vegetarian.
Buy local food in season and freeze or dry the extras.

Have energy saving light bulbs and not have so many lights on.
Reduce, reuse, recycle, reassign, and respect.
Support products that are earth friendly.

Repair items, like clothes instead of throwing out and getting new ones right away.
Buy used furniture or antiques instead of the mass produced glue furniture.
We have bamboo floors, no carpet.

Donate to groups that are involved in helping the environment.
I encourage, educate and aid co-workers, friends & family interested in being more "green".

I'm constantly reading material on this topic and trying to improve myself as a person and an earth citizen.

That's what I got for now (off the top of my head).

I am somewhat concerned, although perhaps not like others. I have many concerns, and frankly, this one is not at the top of my list.

As to what I would do to help, I am currently wearing the hoodie I was given in being a part of Yahoo for Good's project at the Fremont High School outdoor science lab. You can see the video in the link below.

The think people have to get used to is the real solutions to global problems are local, personal. You can't legislate conservation and recycling, although legislation can help. Ultimately, it comes down to individuals making the choice to green up their own back yard, their own neighborhood. Choosing to recycle conscientiously, learning to re-use things so that less is needed, taking public transportation or riding a bicycle, making those individual choices which are good for the environment overall.

Global warming is turned around by global greening. Plant trees, water dry places, be a part of the movement to help Mother Nature restore balance to the planet.

I am concerned about global warming.

I do nothing to help. Some ways an individual could help would be to
a) reduce your consumption of goods that require energy to produce or transport
b) reduce your consumption of energy that is produced by burning fossil fuels
c) refrain from having children, and encourage everyone else to remain childless.
