The best thing I do is leave a large portion of my land alone. I use 1/2 acre for my driveway, house and yard. I leave the other 4 1/2 acres in it's natural state and undisturbed. It is home to aravens nest in one of the tallest trees on my property. Moose spend the winter in back with their young and eat the willows and birch trees. The moose leave in the summer and other small animals enjoythe area around my home like foxes, porcupines, squirrels, birds, ducks and geese, an occasional wolf and black bears during the summer. I also take care of the environment by using reuse able shoppingbags, driving a small fuel efficient car, using energy efficient lighting, not using my furnace as much as I want to, taking short showers, and many other little things that add up over time.
Iprobably don't do the best of my ability but I recycle plastic,tin,aluminum,cardboard,glass, and paper. I also turn all the lights off if I am not using them, take short showers, do full loads of laundry,only run water when needed (as in I don't keep it on while brushing my teeth.) I don't let my car idle for too long. (If I am waiting for somebody at the store or picking somebody up then I turn thecar off while waiting for them.)
I recently just got into makeing my own cleaning products. Basically vinegar and water or baking soda.
