Yeah I know there are lots of efforts that just don't work or impossible to
carry out them or just in a beggining phase. But there are lots of things
that can be done by individuals. They would even feel better. It is not
much effort just a bit of care and good decision.

When you buy something, you also vote. We vote every day we vote for
the products we buy and for the companies behind them. Don't vote to pollution!

Just quoted from the 11th hour website:

In America, people use 100 billion plastic bags a year--about 60,000 plastic bags
every 5 seconds. These bags take nearly 1,000 years to
break down. San Francisco just banned petroleum-based plastic
bags from all grocery stores in the city, which will save the city 450,000 gallons
of oil and prevent 1,400 tons of trash from ending up in landfills each
year. So, in the end, it's good for all of us.

Never go to shopping without this.
And don't accept plastic bags even if they are free.

For example, please carry phosphate-free detergents, long lasting
florescent light bulbs, locally grown and organic foods, 100% post
consumer waste recycled paper products like napkins, paper towels,
toilet paper.

Saving water is an important lesson for everyone. The average American family
consumes 300 gallons of water a day between flushing our toilets,
showers, washing dishes, clothes and cars--adding up to 495,000
gallons per person every year in the US. In Mozambique, the average
use per year is roughly only 475 gallons, or 1.3 gallons of water daily
(one toilet in the US can use 1.6 when flushing).

We could establish a recycling program, a reuse program, and
conservation program. We could fundraise for low flush toilets, start
changing school supplies, for example convert to 100% post consumer
waste recycled paper, toilet paper and napkins, and use washable
dishes and glasses in the cafeteria whenever possible.

100% recycled toilet paper

Also, could you please look into the most eco-friendly paper products?
In the US alone, 95% of the old forests are gone. With the average American
using over 700 pounds of paper each year, and with more than
90% of printing/writing paper made in the US coming from virgin tree
fiber, this is an important lesson and practice for all of us.
Not only is deforestation causing a loss of biological diversity on an unprecedented
scale, it's causing us to lose between 50-100 animal and plant species
each day but we lose the benefit that healthy forests provide-
-they filter polluted water, remove air pollution, sequester carbon and provide homes for wildlife.

Recycled paper.
Also perfect to write/print on it.

I only feel good about buying 100% recycled paper.
All these suggestions could be solved immediately
by governmental operations. (put more tax on
products made with a polluting technology)
