1. EAT CARROTS. Okay, carrots don't really help you to see in the dark, but if you make it a habit to use every light of day to light your world, you'll use less electricity and-- save the world.

2. ADOPT A NATIVE PLANT. All you need to do is protect a plant or tree native to your area, and you are in effect helping the entire ecosystem, every microbe, bird and piece of moss will thank you. What is a native plant you ask? It is a plant that has spent millions of years adapting to the place you live. It perfectly coexisits with everything that is natural, and can potentially imbalance everything when it disappears. Educate yourself, stop praising foxglove for its flowers, ivy for its vigor, and scotch broom for its yellowness-- these are examples of NON native pests.

3. GET RID OF YOUR CELL PHONE. Or at least don't upgrade. The ingedients that were mined to make your phone poisoned the wated in villages you've never heard of. Cell towers compete for space on mountain tops. Birds are starting to imitate cell phone rings.
