"It’s good to learn about environmental problems, and even better to do something about them. Here are a few practical steps you can take:

• Go outside and learn about the plants, animals, and ecosystems around you. Knowledge leads to understanding and respect; use field guides, online resources, or apps to get to know God’s creations more personally.
• Choose to walk, skate, cycle, carpool, or use public transportation where available. You can enjoy the outdoors a little bit more while at the same time reducing pollution.
• Buy local. This has the double benefit of directly supporting your community and cutting carbon emissions (products grown or made locally don’t need to travel as far).
• Plant a garden. There are few food sources more sustainable or personally fulfilling than growing your own!6 As a young adult, you might have limited space, so start small by growing an herb garden or consider joining a community garden.
• Reduce, reuse, recycle. Consume less, carry reusable grocery bags and water bottles, and check what materials are recyclable in your city.
• Use less water and energy. Things like taking shorter showers, turning off lights, and unplugging appliances when not in use can all add up.
• Get involved. You could consider volunteering or supporting reputable environmental groups.
• Vote. Take the time to be educated, and vote the way you feel will best affect environmental issues and policies.
• Be 'anxiously engaged in a good cause' (see Doctrine and Covenants 58:26–29). We’ve been taught the principles—now it’s time to act on them."
