I am feeling that a lot of acts which harm our ecosystem, cause global warming and cause damage to other beings too. What things can I do to minimize the harm from my side? I try not to throw rubbish on street but that is only thing I know. I don't have recycling bins where I live.

Mowing your grass less is actually a huge one. Like you can take such small steps that have huge impacts. Let your grass get 6-10 inches tall and then back to 5 inches. You will increase the bug count and increase the number of birds and predators almost immediately.

Of course there’s a lot more you can do, but that’s one that many people don’t even realize.

    This is a really good one. Super simple and helpful. However, if you aren't pigeon holed by an HOA, get rid of your grass entirely. Make a rain garden, indigenous wildflower meadow, an urban herb garden. Anything that supports biodiversity and helps build soil health instead of monocultured lawn is helpful.
