One of the most important things for people to do is eat a vegan diet.  Being a vegan, you don’t eat meat, milk, eggs, or any animal products at all, which has benefits for your health, and a significant positive impact on the environment.  Vegans live on average 1-3 years longer than meat-eaters, and have a far lower risk of heart disease and diabetes.

That's a good option! What else can I do? Is there certain things that create more waste than others?

In terms of the ecological impact of various products, the biggest differences are between manufactured products and organic products.  There’s a lot of research comparing the ecological footprint of buying a car vs. buying an electric car, and a lot of it shows that the emissions are similar, and the environmental impacts are mostly around the energy to produce the product (in the case of a car), rather than in the manufacturing process.

I've read so much about electric cars! So using those will create less pollution?
