Perhaps 'improving the world' or some other phrasing could appease the people who don't like the sound of "saving the world".
Then again, perhaps not.
But that's so generic that it misses the point. Saving the world is extraordinary. What things are you doing towards extraordinary outcomes?
OP mentions "I used less water in the shower", so is obviously not only looking for extraordinary outcomes. So "saving the world" does indeed sound silly.
