There are several issues occuring all over the world now that trouble me. Starvation, poverty, global warming, racism; the list goes on. The most pertinent in my mind, though, is the issue of global warming. It effects not only you and I, but every living thing on the planet.
There are multiple things that we, as individuals, can do to help. Reducing the amount of fast-food you eat is a good start. Not only will it save you money, but the decrease in sales will cause fast-food corporations to produce less in the way of wrappers, etc., and as a result, reduce their cabon emissions. Also, reducing your electrical and water output and usage can have a similar effect. Less demand, less wasteful production, more money saved.
If these ideas are not enough, or simply not radical enough, then you may try petitioning to your local government, and take the fight a step higher. Petition for large companies and corporations to put a cap on their emissions. This simply means that they will eliminate un-necessary waste and, as a result, lower their carbon output. An example of a company/product that is going this way is Tide, along with it's competitors. The company now has a more concentrated detergent, so they have been able to reduce the amount of plastic that goes into making thier product. Less plastic, less emissions.
If you want to know more, you can read up on the issue in Rolling Stones Magazine, or simply Google "Global Warming".
