The best thing to do is to use a plunger first. Plungers will take care of most clogged drains but if you have a serious clog try using a snake.

What does it mean if your toliet is clogged and water is coming up through the tub and shower drain?
It means that your main drain line is clogged downstream from where your drain from your tub ties into your toilet drain and the problem can be a hundred of different reasons. The first thing I would check is your clean out (if you have/find one) outside of your home usually within 2 to 5 feet from your outside wall. If you do find the clean out then take off the clean cover and see if your clean out pipe is full of sewage ( becareful of taking off clean out cover because it might have a lot of pressure behind it if clogged) If you can not find a clean out then if possible wait till the tub drains and then use a shop vac to vacuum out the toilet and then pull the toilet and snake down the toilet drain or if you find a clean out then snake down the clean out. When you run a snake down the clean out or toilet drain if possible run water down it too while you snake the drain line. Most drain lines do not plug up if they are plumbed in right which means have the right grade and have the right fittings so back to your question this could be possible that you have a problem in your drain line and I would (after you clear the line) check it with a camera other wise you might have to snake out your drain line often.
Is there any thing environmentally friendly that I can use to unclog the kitchen sink?
For starters, there is always the good old-fasioned plunger. If that fails you can try baking soda followed by vinager. You can also purchase a drain snake at a hardware store, they should also be able to give you the ins and outs of using it. There are several products that are environmentally friendly that you can use to unclog your kitchen sink. The drainking VIP 1 hooks up to the end of your garden hose and uses water pressure to push clogs through your pipes. A cannister of compressed gas also works well. You might try a plunger, or a pipe snake as well.
What can be done to clear standing water in a sink?
Plunging is always the first thing. Chemical drain cleaners usually work, but if not, you have to be careful dealing with the clog after that. Running a snake down the drain should get most clogs.
How do you remove buckle and dent issues in your car body using a plunger?
The best thing to do is to get the area damp with water before sticking the plunger to the side of your car. You are going to center the dent with the plunger and firmly press it against the area and the pull it out just like you were using the plunger.
What should you do if your shower gurgles when the toilet is flushed and the toilet doesn't always work and you also get a drain pipe leak in your basement when too much water is used at the same time?
First thing you should do is call a plumber. Drain lines are not supposed to leak. Your drain line is clogged and needs to be snaked out and the leaking pipe repaired.
Both my toilets the shower and tub are clogged but nothing else is I snaked shower and roof vent and main line from outside back toward the house with no improvement what could be wrong?
there can be many things that could be wrong. The first thing I would do is take out your toilet and snake from there, if possible try to see if your grade is backwards on your drain pipe. Depending on your snake you are using and what head you are using and if you use down your toilet flange you should fix the problem unless your pipe is broken or back graded.
