What are the advantages and disadvantages for living an eco-friendly life?
Why are organic stuff are better?

By choosing organic clothes we are almost eliminating the use of chemicals in the materials we use like cotton. By buying sustainable cotton we’re creating a demand for it and campaigns like the Cleaner Cotton Campaign can move forward to more opportunities. Sustainable cotton is better to wear on our bodies bc it has fewer chemicals that can be soaked up in our skin. The cotton growers also use alternatives in their farming practices making it better on the community as well.

I just moved into a new townhouse and I am doing everything I can to live in a way that’s less harmful to the environment, I have an unfinished basement that can possibly be used to store a compost bin, but no place to plant a garden, so I would’nt know what to do with the soil. A friend suggested I forego the compost bin and just get a garbage disposal to deal with kitchen scraps. Please help!

A compost bin – but you need at least a bit of living soil and a container of fishing worms to get things started. If it is stirred and moistened routinely it should not smell other than a damp dirt smell. It should never stink or smell like garbage.
Only vegetable, fruit and grain should go in it, never put dairy, oils, fats, or meats in small compost bin.
Use the finished “dirt” for flower pots or give it away.

I am almost 18, so I’m still in the teen age stage and I am living at my grandparents (legal guardians) and I am all for organic eating and eco-friendly ways of life, I really want to live a eco-friendly life but my grandparents are not for it they think I’m dumb, and I am a teen so I shouldn’t care about the environment and organic foods are expensive and we have to feed almost 5 people.

What should I do to go eco-friendly and have my grandparents help? Talking to them is not gonna work

Hmmm. I’m going to take a big leap off the mountain and say that you are a product of the public schools which are full of teachers trying to mold young minds and influence them to become righteous environmentalists. It is the new spirituality. You can’t talk about God and the church and saving people, but “save the whales!”

Seriously though, do you have garden space? Are your grandparents going to object to a gardening project? Even if you don’t, consider container plantings. This might be a way to begin to grow some of your own foods in an eco-friendly manner. It will take some hard work and research on your part, but you sound all enthused about this stuff so at 18 you should have the energy to get something going here. I would guess that if your grandparents see you doing something positive rather than just criticizing them that they might even help you some… gardening often appeals to the elderly.
