they really aren't. Stopping pollution and resource overconsumption through "green" power methods will prevent the global climate change that is warming oceans and speeding up hypoxia.

Mass Transit

Similar to clean energy, lowering pollution from cars by using hybrids; carpooling; and taking buses, trains, or ferries will begin to reverse global warming and help the entire planet, including oceans and dead zones.

Educate Others

Once you know about an issue yourself, it is helpful to spread the word. Casually informing people with correct information may spark their interest and lead to a revolution of small changes by many.

Make Laws

This is a final and possibly most difficult step. To truly enforce conservation, legal
