Is there anything that I could be doing, without knowing, that can contribute to the cause of global warming, pollution, or anything that can harm the environment? Thanks!

    Depends on how much you know and your living conditions. The following things are easy to forget that are harmful:

    1.) Holding the refrigerator door open
    2.) Poor insulation
    3.) Too many cracks (gaps under doors and in windows)
    4.) Cranking the A/C
    5.) Driving cars with bad gas mileage.
    6.) Hand wash dishes (3 gallons/min) vs dishwasher (15 gallons/wash)
    7.) Litter

    Here’s things you should do:

    1.) Recycle
    2.) Compost
    3.) Turn down A/C when you leave the house or go to sleep.
    4.) Plant trees in your yard

    ya pretty much what the person above me wrote. also:
    taking long baths/showers
    keeping your toaster or cell fone charger or vaccum etc… while not using it. Even if its off energy is still being wasted.
