I'm 14 btw.
I try hard to be green. I tend to take bottles home from subway and such because they don't have a recycling can, and even if they do, I don't always trust it, hehe. If I need food or something I walk a half mile to Wawa instead of asking my parents to drive me to shop-rite. I walk -everywhere-. I rarely take plastic bags from stores and I reuse them when I do.
My dad doesn't care, and I swear he tries to make our planet waste. He tells me how useless my efforts are, how global warming is a load of c**p, how I'm insane. The thing on your car that makes the exhaust less pollute-ish, his doesn't work, at all, and he won't replace it even though he said he can easily afford it because he doesn't care. He rants about how organic and local foods are all a lie, how I'm stupid for buying into it.
As much as I want him to go greener, I can't change that much. But how do I get him to at least respect my opinions and efforts?
