The SHOCKING Truth About Sustainable Living (You’re Doing It Wrong!)
Want to save money, protect the planet, AND live healthier? Sustainable living IS possible—but most people make big mistakes that waste resources and time.
I’m Tosha Larios, and I’ve spent years researching and practicing sustainability. Here’s what you need to know (and what you’re probably getting wrong).
⸻
Mistake #1: Thinking You Have to Be Perfect
Many people avoid sustainable living because they think it’s “all or nothing.” They believe they have to:
🚫 Give up their car
🚫 Live off-grid
🚫 Grow all their own food
The Fix: Start Small & Build Up
Sustainability isn’t about being perfect—it’s about making better choices every day. Start with:
✔ Using reusable bags and water bottles
✔ Composting food scraps
✔ Eating locally grown food
Small changes add up to BIG impact!

Mistake #2: Wasting Energy (Without Realizing It!)
Even eco-conscious people waste energy in ways they don’t notice:
🔴 Leaving electronics plugged in
🔴 Using outdated appliances
🔴 Running laundry with half-full loads
The Fix: Make Easy Energy Swaps
💡 Switch to LED bulbs – Uses 75% less energy!
💡 Unplug devices – Phantom power drains your wallet.
💡 Wash in cold water – Saves money and power.

Mistake #3: Buying “Eco-Friendly” Junk
Not all “green” products are truly sustainable. Many are:
⚠ Overpriced
⚠ Poor quality
⚠ Packaged in plastic (defeating the purpose!)
The Fix: Buy Less, Choose Wisely
✅ Shop secondhand for clothes and furniture.
✅ Invest in high-quality, long-lasting products.
✅ Grow your own food when possible.
