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.
An all-purpose cleaner that is non-toxic and organic includes warm water, white vinegar, borax, washing soda crystals, Castile soap and tea tree oil. Create a safe, effective cleaning agent for a variety of surfaces with help from an author and speaker on eco-friendly lifestyles in this free video on green living.

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.

This book is very easy to read with wonderful and useful information. If you want to start thinking "green" then this book is a great start.
The book spans a wide range of topics - including beauty products, cleaning products, linens and mattresses, and home improvement. If you are going to make any large-scale eco-friendly investments (on-demand water heater, organic mattress, hybrid car, solar panels) youre going to need to do much more research than what is in this book. If youre just looking for a primer covering a lot of topics and dont mind it when it states the obvious (bring your own bags to the store, recycle your trash) or hawks products, then you might find this book useful.
