Living Sustainably: Simple Steps to Make a Big Impact
By: Tosha Larios
Living sustainably is not just a trend; it’s a way of life that benefits our planet and our future. I’m Tosha Larios, and I believe that every small change can make a big difference. In this blog post, I’ll share easy ways you can live sustainably, and how my journey at Star Track Farm and through Food as Medicine has shaped my perspective. Together, we can create a healthier world!
Understanding Sustainability
Sustainability means meeting our needs without harming the environment. It’s about using resources wisely so that future generations can enjoy them too. Living sustainably doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some practical steps you can take.
1. Grow Your Own Food
One of the best ways to live sustainably is to grow your own food. Even if you have a small space, you can start with herbs in pots or a small vegetable garden. At Star Track Farm, we focus on organic farming practices that nurture the soil and produce healthy food. Growing your own food not only reduces waste but also gives you fresh, nutritious options right from your backyard.
2. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
We’ve all heard this before, but it’s worth repeating! Reducing waste means buying less and choosing products with minimal packaging. Reusing items instead of throwing them away is another great way to help the planet. Finally, recycling helps keep materials out of landfills. Check out my blog on Food as Medicine to learn how we can use food waste creatively in our kitchens.
3. Choose Sustainable Products
When shopping, look for products that are made sustainably. This includes items that are biodegradable, ethically sourced, or made from recycled materials. Every choice you make can impact the environment positively. I often share tips on finding these products through my social media accounts and on Advanced Girl Math, where I talk about making smart choices.
4. Conserve Water and Energy
Simple actions can lead to significant changes. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, take shorter showers, and unplug devices when they’re not in use. These small habits save water and energy, making a big difference over time. For more on sustainable living, follow my journey at Tosha Larios.
5. Connect with Your Community
Engaging with your community is a powerful way to promote sustainability. Join local groups that focus on environmental issues, or start your own initiatives. Whether it’s a community garden or a recycling program, working together can lead to greater impact. At Star Track Farm, we often host events to educate our neighbors about sustainable practices.
Why It Matters
Living sustainably is essential for our planet’s health. Climate change, pollution, and resource depletion affect everyone. By making conscious choices, we can help protect our environment. It’s not just about us; it’s about future generations.
