They're all very good, however, recycling isn't a good thing. The whole process uses up more energy just trying to reuse things. However, don't stop recycling, because you're wasting the system.
But I have planted trees - my family planted 500 pine trees on our acreage.
Plus, I use reusable grocery bags, recycle/compost/reuse everything I can (my town has an extremely effective recycling program) and all of our lightbulbs have been changed to the light-saving ones. Not to mention that we have water and energy-saving appliances, my family all walk to their job, when weather permits, plus we don't use air-conditioning or a dryer in the summer. And we grow almost all of our own vegetables.
I guess we're a green family, but it's not a hard way to live, really.

How cynical and stupid. Best way to save the environment is not removing the problematic factor altogether? Sure it's not the most considerate to us, but for the environment, it's the best. Humans, like every living thing, are not sources but reactants. In other words, humans respond to the environment, they do not cause problems within it, if they do it is out of response of another problem already in the environment. Then the environment doesn't need saving to begin with does it?

Eliminating the problem. i.e. humanity.
i.e. humanity.
Sure it's not the most considerate to us, but for the environment, it's the best.
using alternative energy sources for large-scale projects, and new housing developments, would be a good idea too.
