Mothering a teenager and environment conservation

There are a few details in my life that I need to pay more attention to

On a personal level I need to improve my interaction and communication with my teenage daughter. Her tantrums, increased need for privacy and addiction to digital devices keeps me worried and anxious. I understand that she is at a very sensitive time frame when the mind and emotions are very sensitive and moldable. I am at loss for how to go about this duty as well as unsure what her reaction would be. Would she try to understand me or would she want to distance herself further? Anyways unless I attempt I wouldn’t know.

On a larger scale I need to be more cautious of the environment. Although I reuse plastic and carry a cotton bag for shopping I still need to think of ways of decreasing the plastic coming into my house. This is a difficult choice as most items are packaged in plastic.  Shampoos, cleaners,  soaps etc. Thus it is necessary to hunt for eco-friendly options rather than easily available ones so that a better sustainability is achieved.  I know my efforts would be a small drop in the ocean. However it is the maximum that I can do which would provide me great satisfaction.

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?
