The world's population is nearly 7 billion, so every person must plant ONE tree every year. For every tree cut, 3 must be replanted. More ponds, parks, fountains are required. For money, reduced corruption, arms, etc.

Reversing the flow of the Niger
We will do our world a lot of good by adopting the proposal to "reverse" the flow of rivers. The Niger is one of the biggest rivers in Africa, and it empties its waters into the Atlantic. Can you imagine the effects of an transporting equivalent volume of desalinized water from the ocean into the Sahara desert? The effects on agriculture, reforestation and so many other positive results, including reduction of global warming, could just be what we need to save mankind if we are to continue here on planet Earth.

Less People, Less Pollution
You want to know the best way to stop pollution? Use birth control. This planet is running out of room and I think animals have just as much right to live on this planet as we do. I'm not having any kids, that’s what I'm doing to help prevent global warming. How about you?
—Guest Caroline Miniscule
Minimal usage of plastics...
Plastics, the so called polyester bags are non-biodegradable and one of the major factors causing global warming. So, reducing the usage of plastics will help to reduce global warming to a larger extent. However, usage of jute bags and bio-degradable plastics, which are eco-friendly, is a best remedy and I am using these for about a year and still using them.

Vegetarian diet
Single best thing you can do to stop climate change is to stop eating meat. Not sure how the author forgot to include that.
Guest Mike
Become a vegan or vegetarian
NASA and the United Nations report that the number one cause of greenhouse gas emissions is the meat and dairy industries. They point out that becoming a vegetarian is more effective at reducing greenhouse gas than buying a Prius. So, I think that should be on the top ten list.

Kill smoke , save the mother earth
First, people should reduce smoking which is a serious problem to neighboring people and to the environment. Secondly, people must get educated about not burning waste, especially plastic which plays a main role in the depletion of the ozone layer.

Reuse water bottles
You can help global warming by buying reusable water bottles, which you can refill instead of throwing them away. If you buy bottled water, please recycle the bottles. Guest Leah
Good.
I think all of the ideas were pretty good. But most of the ideas involve things I don't have.
Guest Sarah
Why leave out the most obvious idea?
As has been stated above, the most significant thing that one can do is to STOP EATING MEAT. Cows are massive greenhouse gas emitters--way more than cars. Raising pigs and chickens is incredibly polluting. I wonder why this article doesn't mention it.
—Guest logic
Stop eating Betsy the cow
Practically the number one thing we can do to reduce global warming is stop consuming animal products, since cattle-rearing alone accounts for more greenhouse gases than all transport combined. Oh, and by the way, it's killing us. The link between consumption of animals and cancer and heart disease is absolutely undeniable and established by thousands of studies. By improving your own health, you improve the health of the planet. What more can you ask for? And believe me, it's not that difficult. You get hooked on feeling good.

Married to Mr. Green
Being married to Mr. Green, our family's done just about everything we can for a very long time. For years we've had compact fluorescent light bulbs, and we both drive Priuses. I have eight Whole Food Market reusable grocery bags and another eight bags from various stores so I keep them in my car and use them every time I grocery shop. But probably the biggest change has been to completely cut animal products out of my diet. I became a vegan back in September 2008 and I no longer miss eggs or dairy products (we didn't eat much meat to begin with). When I cook for my family, they know it'll be vegan, and they can add cheese to my dishes if they want (I do a lot of stews and one-pot meals). Knowing that we're not contributing to the 10 billion animals that are killed annually for food makes me feel morally better, but it also frees up land and resources that would be better used to feed other human beings, not livestock to be killed. Linda Lowen.
I walk to reduce global warming
I use my car a lot less--taking the bus to work, walking to shops and restaurants near my home. I've reduced my carbon footprint quite a bit, plus it saves wear-and-tear on my car. And I've discovered fun things to do that are close to home.

GRAMMAR SPOT
Conditionals
There are several structures in English that are called conditionals.
"Condition" means "situation or circumstance".
Conditionals are clauses introduced with if.
Conditional clauses consist of two parts: the if-clause (hypothesis) and the main clause (result). When if-clause comes before the main clause, the two clauses are separated with comma.
If you wear your shirt inside out, you’ll get a good grade on the test.
if-clausemain clause
Conditional sentences present one event, typically in clause beginning with if(If it rains), as a condition for another event, expressed in a main clause (the roads get dangerous). In real conditionals, the events happen, have happened or are likely to happen (If you work hard, you will finish the project on time). In unreal conditionals, the events have not happened, are not likely to happen or are imaginary (If I had been more careful, I wouldn’t have made such a big mistake).
The main types of conditionals are: Type 1 (true in the present),Type 2(untrue in the present) and Type 3 (imaginary).
Conditionals can be formed by if, unless(= if not – used with the 1sttype conditionals),providing/provided that, so/as long as, suppose/supposing, on condition that, but for(= without),in case, otherwise, or else, what if, even if, only if.
Unless she has a ticket, she won’t get into the cinema. (= if she doesn’t have …)
I’ll phone you providing/provided (that) I have time this afternoon.(…if I have time…)
After if we normally usewereinstead ofwas for all persons in type 2 conditionals.
If I were/was older, I could go to the disco.
We use If I were you… when we’d like to giveadvice.
If I were you, I would buy that car.
We do not normally use will,wouldorshouldin an if-clause. We can usewillorwouldafter it to make a polite request or expressinsistence,annoyance,doubtoruncertainty. We can also useshouldafterifto talk about something which is possible, but not very likely to happen.
If you will wait for a minute, I will be able to come to you.(Will you please wait … - polite request)
If Ann should come back, ask her to call me. (I don’t know if she comes back … - uncertainty)
We can omit if and use inversion in Type 1, 2 and 3 Conditionals.Should,wereandhadcome before the subject. This structure is more common in formal English.
If he should come back, tell him to phone me. → Should he come back, tell him to phone me.
If she were more careful, she wouldn’t make so many mistakes. → Were she more careful, she wouldn’t make so many mistakes.
If she had met him, she would have told us. → Had she met him, she would have told us.
