There are many things that we can do to save the environment.  Whether you live in Los Angeles or Beijing, you can help to clean up your local environment and work toward improving the global environment.

One way you can help the environment is by joining an Environmental Organization.  Many of these groups already have developed action plans for saving the environment.

You can also take part in Earth Day 2000 or future Earth Days.  Be sure to get members of your community involved in the activities as well.

But there are many ways that you can help the environment in your daily life as well.
