 Plant a tree a day
You can donate anonymously to the environment by planting a tree a day for 30 days. Find locations in your city where you think a tree may grow and plant a tree there.
Trees don't reduce your CO2 emission, they actually absorb CO2.
This may require some time before the trial to search for locations and check on the type of trees to plant, their cost and watering needs. I'm frequently frustrated by the large areas covered with grass which consumes a lot of water and gives little shadow...
Trees need more water when they are young but after a couple of years their water needs reduce and they give plenty of shade. Googling nevada trees gives some interesting pages to start with.
You can also register each tree's location using a GPS and take pictures regularly of the trees, perhaps once a day or once a week and make a movie showing trees grow.
Maybe you can convince the city's gardening department to cooperate.
Good luck,
Ami
