I know it sounds hard, but, take shorter showers, use water saving showerheads and turn the water off or down when you don't absolutely need it (shaving and such). Make a compost...all it takes is occasional watering and turning. All you have to do is take your compostable stuff (fruits, veggies, lawn debris) and heap it over a pile of dirt. Get your parents to get florescent lightbulbs. Learn to cook and eat locally. If your parents aren't into that, help them shop and take them to farmers markets...buy fresh eggs, veggies, other stuff...
I applaud your interest...its important!
 
i am totally for saving the earth and doing all i can to keep it healthy and safe. what can i do to help?
going green is another thing
 
It does not matter when you are saving energy. Everybody can do it.

Reduce the unnecessary use of water wherever you can.
Off the electronic things whenever not in use or whenever you feel that you can stay with those things off.
Less use of printouts or paper.
Plant little plants.
Tell your friends about all the above things coz whenever you tell others you are actually teaching more people coz they will also spread your words.
