How I did it: I'm making a difference in the environment by buying eco-friendly products that I know I will use for a long time such as a Prius and a Lenovo laptop. I want to reduce my carbon footprint by changing my lifestyle and everyday habits; little things like using towels instead of paper towels, unplugging appliances that aren't in use, or signing petitions.

Lessons & tips: First, we need to realize that we don't need that one giant, declaratory action to make a difference. We can make a difference with the little things we do everyday. Everything starts at the grassroots level, and that includes action.

Resources: The movie "An Inconvenient Truth," NRDC.org, the internet... They're everywhere!
