What's your contribution to the environment?

I'm guilty of having a cabinet full of plastic bags in out kitchen. That's why when we go to the wet market, we always bring bags of our own so us not to add some more on the pile. But the stubborn vendors sometimes just keep on bagging the goods using their own plastic bags, and sometimes would double the bag, even when they are already being told not to. How I wish we could do the same with the grocery stores. But despite this pollution that we make, we make sure that we only dispose of plastics, papers, cans, and bottles. We have a small basin by the kitchen sink, and we put there the ones that are biodegradable, like fruits and vegetable peels, food scraps and rice washings. By doing this, we already have plant and soil fertilizers, then we can also help lessen the waste pollution. We also make sure that the disposable diapers that we buy for our son is made of cotton and paper, not plastic (and before we put the pooped diapers in the trash bin, we first dispose the poop in the toilet bowl). I was watching National geographic Channel last week, and the topic was "Human Footprints". From there, I learned that a person alone contributes tonnes of pollutants his lifetime in the environment. How about you, what is your contribution to the environment, especially now that we can already feel the global warming phenomenon?
