buy less food! better food management!
- Did you know that peoplel in the UK each year are throwing away about 6.7 million tonnes of food, like fresh fruit, vegetables, bakery items, fish and meat meals, and all this waste will end up in landfills. Better food management would save money (about 420 pounds per year) and the planet. It's the same if you take one out of five cars from the road. Don't be very excited in the supermarket if there are offers like buy one get one free or two for the price of one because it will end up in the bin and will empty your pocket. I was always told by my parents that to waste food isn't good, and I'm going to teach that to my son, too.

Stop breeding
- The single best thing you can do is not have kids, or limit yourself to one. A nonexisting person creates even less waste than a vegetarian!

Give bamboo a chance
- Use bamboo instead of wood, then fewer trees will be chopped down in the first place. If we buy products made of, or from bamboo; more bamboo will be grown. Bamboo grows way faster than trees and bamboo may be more efficient at removing CO2 and producing oxygen. Given enough bamboo the whole thing could be reversed. So, would you rather plant a tree or buy a bamboo cutting board? Your choice.

solar
- Install as many solar-energy systems and products as possible. Solar energy can replace electricity and therefore, reduce global warming.And PARTICIPATE in school and communities' 'plant-a-tree' days or whatever. It helps a lot.

Compost.
- Indoor worm composts are a great idea to reduce the amounts of waste being kept in bags in landfills, which could be decomposed and recycled back to the planet.

Most important thing
- It's been said already, but going vegetarian is the best way to save energy, land, water, and carbon emmisions. Going vegan is even better. On top of that, I have a reusable water bottle, I bike to school/work, and I conserve hot water (a huge energy drainer). There are so many other things I do but sadly, most of the population is oblivious and not willing to change =(

BE PRACTICAL
- It is highly important that we all live the theory and get practical about saving our world ,your beautiful planet, my earth...by doing something in our litle capacity to reduce global warming .We must look beyond personal gain ,comfort and profit to solve this global problem. The questions are: what am I doing as an individual, corporation, government and and religion to solve this problem that looms ahead of us as if it is going to be the cause of our end ?

global warming
- The world's population is nearly 7 billion, so every person must plant ONE tree every year. For every tree cut, 3 must be replanted. More ponds, parks, fountains are required. For money, reduced corruption, arms, etc.

reversing the flow of the niger
- We will do our world a lot of good by adopting the proposal to "reverse" the flow of rivers. The Niger is one of the biggest rivers in africa, and it empties its waters into the Atlantic. Can you imagine the effects of an transporting equivalent volume of desalinized water from the ocean into the Sahara desert? The effects on agriculture, reforestation and so many other positive results, including reduction of global warming, could just be the what we need to save mankind if we are to continue here on planet Earth.

Less People, Less Pollution
- You want to know the best way to stop pollution? Use birth control. This planet is running out of room and I think animals have just as much right to live on this planet as we do. I'm not having any kids, that's what I'm doing to help prevent global warming. How about you?

Minimal usage of plastics...
- Plastics, the so called polyester bags are non-biodegradable and one of the major factors causing global warming. So, reducing the usage of plastics will help to reduce global warming to a larger extent. However, usage of jute bags and bio-degradable plastics, which are eco-friendly, is a best remedy and I am using these for about an year and still using them.

vegetarian diet
- Single best thing you can do to stop climate change is to stop eating meat. Not sure how the author forgot to include that.
