Here are some ideas of big steps to take that will help the environment. These are more difficult to do or cost a significant amount of money. I have not done all of these items but am working on a few of them.
-ride a bike to work, take mass transit or carpool. This takes some planning and may be difficult with your work schedule.
-give up eating meat.
-install solar panels to your house
-plant native plants in your yard. They will require less water and benefit the local wildlife
-buy your clothes used or from companies with sustainable environmental practices (this takes some research)
-install energy star appliances
-buy all organic vegetables and fruit
-grow and preserve more of your own food
-support environmental organizations. Some of my faves are Sierra Club, Union of Concerned Scientists and WWF.
