I recently attended a little fair where there was a table set up with information about what happens when it rains, and the rain water rushes down the street, sweeping everything in it's path into storm drains, all of which ends up in the ocean.
THE MESSAGE WAS CLEAR.
MAKING A LITTLE EFFORT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE AND THE TIME TO START IS NOW!
Throw garbage out in designated cans. Don't mix plastic and glass bottles in with garden refuse that's organic - the cans go their separate ways. Throw as much cardboard, foam, and other packaging materials into the recyclables can. Old electronics and batteries present a special problem. Just think of all the old computers that have been thrown out! Televisions, vacuum cleaners, CD's all should be taken to special collections. Furniture - call for the big item pick up!
REUSE things a few times more - plastic grocery bags for example. Or repurpose things. Old clothing should be delivered to a charity or cut up to make other items. Socks without partners make good rags.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION and BE INNOVATIVE!
