Hi, as you guys all know GLOBAL WARMING is true. But what are you doing to reduce it?
I (for example) don't drive so much. If something isn't really that far i take my bike. It's healty, cheap and it helps.
I do use as less energy as i can. Always putting the lights out can help.
...
but what are you guys doing against GLOBAL WARMING?

This is what I am doing for earth:
I no longer use any incandescent bulbs.. All have been ditched.
You might find this weird.. But yes, I don't have any motorized vehicle and use public transport to the maximum. And a bicycle for short distances.
I don't smoke.. Haha
Yes, ofcourse.. I do put off the lights when I don't want them

The biggest and cheapest thing you can do is switch to energy saving lightbulbs. This is what I have done and it saves about 70% of lighting costs. The bulbs also last ages.

i walk to work every single day. i don't drive because i don't have a car yet. i buy solar companies stocks, this encourages the companies to make more energy efficient solar panels. i am also pro natural gas to replace gasoline because it is much cleaner than any other fossil fuels out there and we got plenty of it. why don't people start realizing to use natural gas, it is cheaper and way environmental friendly. i think that when it comes to electricity, electricity should come from alternative energy solutions like geothermal, solar and wind power. there's still a lot of things we could do to supply the demand of energy. we should create a fission reactor that could produce tremendous amount of energy for all our needs.

I'm trying. I drive as little as possible; recycle to reduce my individual footprint; plan on improvements to my home to make it more energy efficient. By the way, those new light bulbs are amazing, they save me a lot each month on my utiltiy bill.
If everyone would make an effort, no matter how small, it would make a tremedous impact on global warming. Thanks for keeping the awareness up.
