Individual action can have an effect, but those are bad suggestions that will have negligible effect unless adopted almost universally. Things like driving less, flying less, eating less meat and buying/throwing away less stuff are things where individual actions can actually make a difference. Watching less TV doesn't accomplish anything other making you feel like you are taking action. If you want to make a small change that will actually accomplish something, try taking public transportation or biking to work one day a week or eating vegetarian one day a week.
