    Plant a garden, drive as little as possible, take your bike or walk if you can, turn off your tv and play a game, read a book, or visit a neighbor. Eat local. Buy local. Don't buy stuff you don't need (it will only end up in a landfill, off gassing someday) Re use, Re cycle. When you have to replace an appliance, do so with a more energy efficient one.

    You can do many things. Instead of driving, take bus. Replace your car, or buy efficient, small car, or hybrid. Or share your car. Reduce your electricity consumption, turn off uncessary lights, etc. While consuming electricity you don't generate carbon, but you share the responsibility because it's being generated and you consume, so you keep the demand for more electricity. If possible try to use solar energy for heating. It's carbon consumption is 0. For an example, put a device on the roof of your house, you have 24 hours hot water with 0 demage to the world. List is very long but these are the most common ones. You may convert some co2 factors that cause global warming here: http://www.asknumbers.com/CarbonEmissionConversion...

    See yourself what you can do.

    sure, lets all stop using everything we have in this century ; cars, gas, oil, electricity, air conds, plane, jets, tanks,

    but you think that's gonna happen?

    99.99% NO even tho the people are saying "Hey, lets stop polluting the Earth and stop global warming!"

    even them i bet are somehow doing what we are doing, contributing to global warming.

    It's part of a NATURAL cycle that is caused by the sun. There is nothing you can do.

    Stop exhaling.

    Actually, NOTHING. The Earth is ever-changing, and that is just a fact of Life. Adapt, or die (that, by the way, is another fact of Life).
