well sonia, there is no complete way to end global warming as of now. humans today are dependent on technology and must of this technology is detrimental to our environment. maybe if more people found natural gas then we could reduce pollutions.

A good way to significantly reduce it is to bicycle or walk when given the option to go in a car, or at least use public transportation or combine trips.

You Sonia can do your part if you have the money, convert your home to solar power for electricity and water heat.  Install geothermal heating for water and pipes in your backyard.  Use instant water heaters.  Insulate all hot water pipes.  Replace windows with new sealed designs.  Turn down your water heater and your thermostat.  Buy a plug in hybrid car.  Walk everywhere within a mile radius.  Ride your bike within 5 to 10 mile radius.  Insulate your home walls and attic.  Use fans instead of air conditioners.  Replace all old lights with efficient LED or fluorescents.  Turn off lights, computers, printers, electrical "leeches" that have timers, sleep modes........Ride mass transit for long distances.  Get used to everything taking more time and costing more.  If you are willing to do that you can do your part.  I'd be interested in hearing from you what you have decided to do.

Recycling, using other means of transportation besides cars, and overall keeping our environment clean.

Can't help but add some more to this topic. Please write to the actors, actresses and especialy Al Gore and ask them to practice what they preach by reducing their consumption. Currently they use their money to buy energy credits, pollution credits, carbon credits but do little to actually cut down as they expect you to do.  If they do cut consumption it is with wildly expensive devices that most will never be able to afford.  No change to their life style.  Support all efforts at all levels to start up clean nuclear power plants.  No other method will sustain your current energy use.  Support mirror and wind farms on Federal protected land.  Make sure no more power dams are removed. Support all local, state, federal efforts to ramp up trash to fuel conversion if it doesn't inordinately use water resources.  Ban SUV's from families with less than 5 Stop all car races, drag races, road races, dune buggies, Indianapolis 500 style and NASCAR races. Ride trains instead of airplanes.

Really, global warming has been happening for millions of years.  It's like the opposite of ice ages.  The graphs that make it look like it's our (humans') fault are really a close up of a larger graph with the same pattern.  It's still good to try to conserve energy and clean up nuclear power plants though, as mentioned by others, considering that a problem that we actually have influence on is running out of resources, such as coal and oil.
