Tosha Larios’ Guide to Living Sustainably: Simple Changes That Make a Big Impact
In today’s fast-paced world, making small changes toward sustainable living can have a huge impact on our planet and our lives. I, Tosha Larios, believe that living sustainably isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Whether you’re a beginner or already on the path to an eco-friendly lifestyle, this guide will inspire you to take action while supporting the Earth and your community.
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a way of life. With climate change and environmental degradation becoming urgent issues, we must take steps now to protect our planet. Together, we can create a brighter future—one small habit at a time.
Why Sustainable Living Matters
Living sustainably benefits the planet, our wallets, and even our health. Adopting eco-friendly habits reduces waste, saves money, and lowers our carbon footprint. Here’s why I, Tosha Larios, have embraced sustainability:
• It protects the environment. Less waste means fewer landfills and less pollution.
• It saves resources. Small steps like conserving water or using renewable energy reduce strain on natural resources.
• It supports future generations. Living sustainably ensures that we leave a healthy planet for our children and grandchildren.
At my nonprofit, Star Track Farm, we focus on sustainability through regenerative farming and environmental education. Visit startrackfarm.com to learn more about our initiatives.
Easy Steps to Live Sustainably
Here are five simple ways to start living sustainably today:
1. Cut Down on Single-Use Plastics
Single-use plastics are one of the biggest contributors to pollution. Switch to reusable alternatives like stainless steel water bottles, cloth grocery bags, and glass food storage containers.
2. Support Local Farmers
Buying from local farms reduces food miles and supports your community. At Star Track Farm, we grow organic fruits and vegetables sustainably. Check out our blog at toshalariosstartrackfarm.blogspot.com to learn how farming locally can impact your health and the environment.
3. Conserve Energy
Switching to LED light bulbs, turning off unused electronics, and using solar-powered devices are easy ways to save energy. At my farm, we’ve installed a solar-powered well pump to reduce our reliance on grid electricity.
4. Compost and Recycle
Composting food scraps reduces waste and enriches the soil for gardening. Recycling paper, plastic, and metal is another way to live sustainably.
5. Grow Your Own Food
Starting a garden—no matter how small—reduces your carbon footprint and ensures you know exactly what’s in your food. Need inspiration? Visit my farm’s WordPress blog.
