[Poll] Ways of Being Enviromentaly Friendly

Life on earth depends on how we treat earth. Earth gives us Water, Oil, and air. Water is what we drink, and what we need to live. Oil gives us energy for our car, and air is another thing that keeps us living.
A way we can help the enviroment is by not using oil, examples are walking, riding your bike etc.
Another way we can help the enviroment is by not littering in the water. Since we drink water, we shouldn't be littering in it.
What are some other ways that YOU will help the enviroment?

Dear Jacob, thank you for those excellent suggestions! We can all do our bit to help the environment. I am trying to use my car as little as possible. I like riding my bicycle to work.
I worry a lot about the environment and hope that we adults don't mess it up too much before you young people can enjoy it.
