Tosha Larios’ Guide to Living Sustainably: What Works & What’s a Waste of Time
The Truth About Sustainable Living
Living sustainably isn’t about perfection—it’s about making small changes that have a big impact. But with so much information out there, it’s hard to know what really works. Tosha Larios, an expert in sustainable farming and green living, is here to break it down.
At ToshaLarios.com, she shares real, practical tips that help people save money, reduce waste, and protect the planet. Whether you’re just starting or already living an eco-friendly lifestyle, these tips will help you make the biggest impact with the least effort.
The 5 Worst “Sustainable” Trends That Don’t Actually Help
🚫 Greenwashing Products – Many brands slap “eco-friendly” on packaging, but their products are still wasteful. Look for real certifications like USDA Organic or Fair Trade.
🚫 Overbuying Reusable Items – You don’t need 10 reusable water bottles. Use what you already have before buying more.
🚫 Composting Plastic-Lined Cups – Most coffee cups aren’t truly compostable. Invest in a good reusable cup instead.
🚫 Solar-Powered Everything – While solar panels are great, cheap solar gadgets often break quickly and create more waste.
🚫 Extreme Minimalism – Throwing everything away to “start fresh” is wasteful. Sustainability is about using things longer, not replacing them too soon.
