Lower your thermostat in the winter. Raise it in the summer. Wearing a sweater in the winter and short sleeves in the summer saves energy and reduces pollution.

Eat Less Meat

Eat less meat and more local and organic foods. Feedlots are a major source of organic pollution. Forests are cut to raise beef.
