I'd disagree. Planting a tree or two is a great start and I myself plan to do just that next spring. But you have more power than that. You can choose where you get your energy from. You can join groups and demand that those energy companies conform to pollution control laws. You effect change with your vote, how much energy you consume, and even with the food you buy. Car pooling, taking the bus, or even riding your bike all help to make a difference too.
