I can save my planet!

--This way I keep it as green and healthy as my parents did it for me--
so that we dont see further rise in temperatures
so that we dont see more glaciers melting
so that we dont see more floods
so that we dont see more erratic season changes
so that we dont see more people facing starvation due to drought

Check List

?? Can I power off the electrical items like television, computer, DVD player instead of letting them go to standby
?? If the air-conditioner/heater is on are the windows/doors closed appropriately

?? At work/school/college can I get everybody to sign on a single greeting card instead of each one presenting a separate card
?? Can't I donate even shoes if I dont feel like using worn out ones or ones with little bit of repair on them. I can do the fix and then donate them
?? Did I know that even old cellphones can be recycled or donated - for those money insensitive people
