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.
