Sustainability is more important than ever. As the world faces big challenges like climate change, pollution, and food shortages, it’s time to take action and make choices that help both the planet and our future. I’m Tosha Larios, and I’m passionate about finding simple, everyday ways to live more sustainably.
In this blog, I’ll share my top tips on how you can start living a more eco-friendly lifestyle, reduce waste, and make smarter decisions for your health and the environment. Plus, I’ll show how sustainability connects to other important parts of our lives, like farming, food, and even finances.
1. Sustainable Farming 🌱
Farming is a big part of sustainability. At [Star Track Farm](https://startrackfarm.com), we believe in growing food in a way that protects the environment. This means using fewer chemicals, saving water, and making sure the soil stays healthy for future crops. When we farm sustainably, we’re helping to create a healthier planet.
You can also get involved by supporting local farms that practice sustainable methods. Eating organic, local foods reduces your carbon footprint and keeps harmful chemicals out of the earth.
2. Food as Medicine 🍎
Did you know that what we eat plays a huge role in sustainability? By choosing whole, plant-based foods, we not only support our health but also help reduce the demand for heavily processed, resource-intensive foods. On my [Food as Medicine](http://cookingwithdrt.blogspot.com/?m=1) blog, I share tips on how you can eat for both your health and the planet. A balanced diet full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains isn’t just good for you—it’s good for the Earth too!
Choosing sustainable, nutrient-rich foods can also help us feel better and avoid preventable diseases. When we take care of ourselves, we’re making a positive impact on the world around us.
3. Saving Money with Advanced Girl Math 💰
Living sustainably can actually save you money! It’s all about making smarter choices. For example, buying reusable products like water bottles or cloth bags reduces waste and means you don’t have to keep buying single-use items.
I talk a lot about this on my [Advanced Girl Math](https://toshalarios.blogspot.com/?m=1) blog, where I break down how small financial decisions can add up to big savings. The same goes for sustainability—choosing reusable products, shopping second-hand, or growing your own food are all eco-friendly ways to save money over time.
4. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle ♻️
This classic rule is key to sustainability. Reducing the amount of waste we produce, reusing items when we can, and recycling properly all help cut down on the amount of trash that ends up in landfills.
Instead of throwing things away, think of creative ways to reuse them. For example, old jars can be turned into planters, and worn-out clothes can be used as cleaning rags. It’s all about getting creative and finding new uses for the things you already have.
5. STEM and Sustainability 🔬
Science and technology are major tools in the fight for a sustainable future. Through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), we can develop new ways to reduce waste, conserve resources, and solve environmental problems. I explore these topics more on my [STEM with Dr. T](https://stemwithdrt.blogspot.com/?m=1) blog, where I talk about how STEM innovations can help make the world a greener place.
From solar energy to water-saving tech, there are so many exciting advancements happening right now that can help us live more sustainably. And the best part? We can all learn more about them and apply these solutions in our daily lives.
6. Small Changes Make a Big Difference 🌍
Living sustainably doesn’t mean making huge changes all at once. In fact, it’s often the small, everyday habits that add up to big impacts. Whether it’s turning off the lights when you leave a room, walking instead of driving, or choosing to buy less plastic, each action you take helps move the needle toward a more sustainable world.
