Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
My dad is always busy in his job. He even don't care if we eat vegetables or not. I'm fun of eating junk foods while watching TV but he's not angry at me. I prefer to attend parties rather than activities at home but he even don't care. Does it mean that my dad is not an eco-friendly dad?

Hi shinningstar - I don't think that means your Dad isn't eco-friendly. He sounds like 99% of Dads I know, too.
But, if you really want an ecolocal-approved Dad, why not ask him to take you to a local farmers market this weekend? You can search for farmers markets on this site as we've got quite a few listed. It should make a great day our and you'll be eating local food, which is a great way to 'go green'.

Thank you Duncan for your advice. Actually, my real dad is eco-friendly but my stepfather is the opposite version. I guess there's no hard in trying. I'll try to invite my stepfather this weekend. That's a nice idea. I really miss eating local foods. Infact, my grandmother owns a plantation of fruits and vegetables in province. That's great!
