Collect and conserve rain water in a barrel to water your lawn and plants.
Carpool as much as possible, take mass transit or walk to your destination whenever possible.
Turn off any unnecessary lights, and replace all regular bulbs with compact florescent (CFL) bulbs.
Boil water in the microwave whenever possible.
Those are small things that you can do to help the environment, but it all ads up. If you think about it, if everyone does one small thing to help conserve or lower our carbon footprints, the world would already start to be a much better and healthier place!

M$You could always take the true environmentalist approach. Since humans are supposedly ruining the planet and are responsible for the carbon footprint altogether, wouldn't the reduction of human population and procreation greatly reduce the carbon footprint? Therefore, the best way to reduce your carbon footprint is to not have children, since you child(ren) will possibly consume equal to or more than you.
It makes environmentalism seem somewhat anti-human doesn't it?

Right, no breathing and no farting. All that carbon dioxide and methane is screwing everything up!
*sigh* shame on me for reacting to troll bait . . .
"It makes environmentalism seem somewhat anti-human doesn't it?"
Totally missing the point of environmentalism, which is to be more sustainable for future generations . . .
Great first sentence but the answer jumps the shark.
Actually, I was about to take this a step further and say "stop breathing", as we're trying to minimize, if not completely eliminate, the production of carbon dioxide produced by the body, right? And I'm gonna leave it at that as this is bait for my temper to flare. D:
Buy a used bike use it for transportation, carpool, bring reusable bags to grocery stores, select items with minimal packaging/buy in bulk. Use sites like freecycle. Buy used items when possible.

Plants use carbon the way humans use oxygen. Plants create oxygen when they use carbon. So long as there are enough plants around, your carbon footprint is negligible.
Oh, and don't support the airline industry or fly around in a private jet.

If you enjoy a fresh cut grass then your out of luck, and even if you don't the city (assuming you live in one) will probably make you mow it anyways. SO the easiest way to control your contribution to the "carbon footprint" is to know what you buy on a day to day basis. The most important factor you should know about everyday items is where they are coming from. If you buy out of season cellophane wrapped vegetables from the grocery store they are coming from out of state, this means alot of energy is wasted getting these to you. If you increase the amount of local or near local products you buy and encourage others to do so you can really impact the amount of carbon and other nasty consequences of burning energy in your area.
