I've started by attending city council meetings virtually. Soon, I want to start going to meetings, especially ones around urbanism. I recently moved to one of the few walkable/bikeable areas of my city (of course this is the oldest part of town) and my quality of life has increased massively. I want to help other parts of my city become like this.
I rarely drive anymore which contributes to saving the earth from my gas-guzzler not only in the gasses it lets off but also doing my part not driving on roads with a multi-thousand pound vehicle for no reason. Cars destroy roads over time and in that way are a huge contributor to climate change is simply paving/maintaining roads.
Finally I want to promote planting more trees not only for the carbon capture they help with but more importantly how they help cut down on the heat-island effect which plagues so many cities including my own. Again, my neighborhood has these huge trees that cool the area so much. Meanwhile other parts of my town people are required to rely on 24/7 AC units to cool them off, contributing more to climate change.
