Yes, for once this is a easy question. When you take out your garbage separate the plastics and the bottles and etc. If you see garbage on your street pick it up and put it in the assigned place. We all must take responsibility for this and we all must make the difference

Recycle your cans, tin foil, bottles (glass and plastic) and paper. Buy only 100% recycled paper or the highest percent possible of all your paper products.
Staples has 100% recycled copy paper and wrting pads. Most supermarkets and all health food stores have 100% recycled paper towels, diapers, facial and toilet tissue.
They cost more but it's worth it to do your part. If more of us do, their cost will come down.
Get yourself some canvas tote bags (link below) to go to the super market with them, don't use any plastic bags. If you get paper bags, recycle them.
Don't buy frozen pre-made foods with non-recycleable trays and wasteful cardboard boxes. Cook more and eat fresh food. This may be a bit of lifestyle change but it's better for you anyhow. Call your town or city hall and find out if there are farmers markets or local green markets near you. Support your local farmers!
Use bio-degradable cleaners such as vinegar and water for your windows or other packaged products you can get at most supermarkets or all health food stores.

Join or support an NGO like the Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International. Boycott dehumanizing corporations like Wal-Mart. Conserve resources, recycle, and drive as economical a car as you can afford. Support and vote for individuals who have genuine concern for humanity, like Lynn Woolsey, John Conyers, Ralph Nader and Dennis Kucinich (assuming they do not die under "mysterious circumstances" like Paul Wellstone). If you choose to support a specific political party, explore those outside the corrupt Duopoly, both of which represent the interests of the ruling class.

Small changes -- use a swamp cooler (fan with running water inside) instead of an air conditioner.
Car pool for longer trips or use the bus for in-town trips.
Use more natural sunlight and less artificial light during the day.
Insulate your home to burn less heating oil or electricity.
Cook meals together to make efficient use of the oven.
All have a small impact, and little things add up.

Turn down your heat a few degrees in the winter, raise the air conditioning a few degrees in the summer.
Plan you shopping so you make fewer trips into town. Keep your freezer full, reuse those plastic shopping bags you get at the supermarket.

Using a mulching mower blade instead of bagging the clippings. Or use biodegradable bags. Use an electric mower. It quieter and less polluting.

Once a year, preferably in the spring, plant a tree! Deciduous tree!

Become a lawyer and sue the heck out of people and organizations...that is what most conservation groups do behind the view of the public.

Only use 3 squares of toilet paper. That's what Sheryl Crow wants us to do. Liberals are hilarious!
