This is pretty general. I'm doing a project on acid rain. 2 of the factors of Acid Rain are SO2 and NOx. Factories can slow SO2, individuals can slow NOx. The main cause of NOx is automobile combustion. You as an individual can drive less, buy a fuel efficient car, or carpool. Good luck.

Freak out your prof. Write about how you don't want to contribute to the problem anymore and state your intention to shoot yourself in the face. Hilarity will ensue.

recycle, conserve energy (energy star appliances, turn off lights when you leave the room, wear a sweater and don't turn on the heat etc,) conserve gas (smaller cars, alternative energy,) put solar panels on your house...

You're not thinking big enough. Why kill yourself, that's only one eco-footprint. If you kill off all the professors who ask inane loaded questions, why that's HUNDREDS of eco-footprints. Now THAT would freak him out.
