The most important thing every person can do to help the Earth is to recognize that human beings have greatly over-populated the Earth, and take a pledge to only reproduce a maximum of 2 children with one other partner. Unless people stop being in denial about this, we will continue to ravage the earth's natural systems to the point of no return, if we have not already reached that point. Changing a few light bulbs feels nice and fuzzy, but it doesn't come close to cancelling out the carbon footprint of an additional person's lifetime! Change the light bulbs and get a Prius as well. But limit your offspring to
replacement of yourself and your partner only!
