There are many way to cut back on the amount of carbon emissions released into the air that cause climate change and global warming.
Transportation is a big problem.
Instead of driving a car everywhere, try walking or riding a bike. When you need to go somewhere that you have to drive to, try carpooling with someone else or using a type of public transport.
Being more energy efficient at home with appliances will not only help to lower emissions causing climate change, but it will also lower the cost of your bills.
Try eating foods that are local to your area. In season foods are also better. This is because it is less amount that food needs to travel, therefore less carbon being released.
Recycle everything you possibly can. This will reduce the amount of garbage that goes to the dump that cause greenhouse gas emissions.
Try to avoid planes as much as possible. Planes have the biggest impact on climate change. In fact, they cause 4-9% of climate change.
Create a compost bin! It's easy and will definitely help eliminate the amount of trash going to landfills.

Using more energy efficient light bulbs (compact fluorescent) will help reduce effects on global warming.
Plant more trees either around your town/city or even your own backyard because trees store carbon.
Help to put a ban on plastic bags and incandescent light bulbs.
Have a greener house (solar panels, skylights,etc) this will reduce the amount of energy used in a home, therefore less carbon emission that contribute to global warming.
