FM: I would say there are many small ways, but what we are stressing right now is the voting with your dollar (or pounds) concept. If you are thinking about each purchase you make (big or small) being a vote for that thing to grow in the world, you can watch as your choices start to change. Some examples are as simple as riding public transportation like the tube (not sponsoring oil companies) or buying local food (cutting out the mass amounts of pollution and energy wasted during transportation of goods).



Try to limit the amount of hair that goes down your drains. Hair can become tangled up in the pipe and end up blocking up the them, preventing water from flowing smoothly.

I purchased a thick textbook for about $200 that had chapters and chapters of information to help me pass the big certification exam. Available courses were available, but I want to study on my own. It was college all over again for me with memorization. Some of the terms and concepts were not very familiar and required more online research (i.e. ASHRAE, VOC, etc.).
