To protect the planet, one should go solar to reduce energy bills and carbon footprint, turn off electronics when not in use and use LED appliances, drive less and use public transport or carpool, recycle plastic, paper, and batteries, conserve water by using less outdoors and fixing leaks, switch to e-billing to reduce paper waste, maintain healthy ecosystems by volunteering for cleanups, bring reusable bags to stores, properly dispose of waste, use composting to reduce waste and enrich soil, and plant trees which provide oxygen and support wildlife over long periods.
