Save energy! Save electricity, especially if electrcity in your home comes from fossil fuels, you can do this by showering for a shorter amount of time, turning off electrical appliances like lights, fans and fausets when they're not in use, and also you can try lowering the temperature in your home and wearing more clothes instead(assuming you live in a place where your house needs heating).

Be wise about your food! Eat more local food and eat less meat. Many different kinds of food needs transportation from around the world, which causes a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. You can limit these greenhouse gas emissions by eating foods that haven't travelled for such a distance.
