We're fortunate to have a place in Scotland with some land and since 1998 have been planting trees there each year. In the next couple of years we'll be making a small lake and planting lots of trees around it. Been carbon negative for 9 years now.
Do the recycling thing - about 80% of our household waste is recycled. Walk and cycle instead of driving but I'd probably do that anyway. Use A rated appliances, light bulbs etc. Some lighting is from wind power. Plus the little things such as switching off instead of standby, boil only enough water for what's needed, lights off when not in use, reuse packaging, buy goods that use recycled materials.

I plan on doing exactly what I'm doing right now. Absolutely nothing. Sound cruel? Self-centered? It's neither, "Global Warming" is simply not happening and there is not an once of credible evidence that it is.
Remember I said CREDIBLE evidence. If you had the misfortune to watch big Al the Kiddies Pal's disaster of a movie "An Inconvenient Truth" and you believed it. I feel sorry for you because you have been done an incredible injustice by some one who knows nothing about REAL science but a great deal about propaganda.
It should be called the "Theory" of global warming, because it's based on a computer model that was so bad it didn't even initialize. (that means that if it shows A to B in the future then it should show B to A when run backward, it wasn't even close) This is all junk science and it's really sad that the media as well as a whole bunch of people on the planet have been suckered by Al Gore and his fellow "snake oil salesman".

Well, as for me, I'm doing the thing that I can do for now just to help the world from Global Warming... Yeah, and one thing I can do is to reduce the use of certain chemicals like aerosols and the CFC (chlorofluorocarbons), and lessen the burning of plastics... Well, can that help?

absolutely nothing. look at the concerned richard branson, who makes his aircraft switch their engines off for a short while, at the same time increasing the number of flights available.
until the big businesses do something, i will continue to waste power and and water.
