LISA BUSSARD, NATRONA HEIGHTS, PENNSYLVANIA: Hi. I'm Lisa Bussard from Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania. And I'd like to know what more I can do as an individual to help the environment.</s>ED BEGLEY JR., ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST/ACTOR: There are so many things that we can do to help the environment. Every one of our actions are linked to big items like global climate change or ozone depletion. We can begin to just act more efficiently, to take the most environmentally sound form of transportation man has ever invented on the ground, which is a bicycle. Or walking is also certainly wonderful. Public transportation uses a lot less fuel and less congestion on the highway.</s>MICHAEL BURK, TELEVISION EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: As individuals, plant a tree. It's not a big thing, but there's a lot of symbolism in it. I think, for our children, I would give every child their own tree. Let them nurture it. Let them nurture their garden. Let them nurture something so that they realize that food doesn't just come from the market.</s>JOHN PAUL DEJORIA, CEO, JOHN PAUL MITCHELL SYSTEMS: There's a lot of things you can do besides recycle paper. You could put together something in your community that makes your city, your state, your country and the world a better place to live.</s>PAIGE MURPHY, DIRECTOR, TEAM EARTHWORK: I really feel, as an individual, that's where it starts. But as an individual, whether it is picking up trash or turning off your light switches, simple things every day that you have to really just think: OK, this is easy to do.
