Living sustainably is a way of life that helps protect our planet and ensures a better future for everyone. As someone who cares deeply about the environment and our health, I, Tosha Larios, believe that small changes in how we live can make a big impact. Whether it’s reducing waste, conserving energy, or making smarter choices about what we eat, living sustainably is something we can all do. In this blog post, I’ll share simple ways you can live more sustainably every day and how it connects to the work I’m doing through Star Track Farm, Food as Medicine, and Advanced Girl Math.

What Does Living Sustainably Mean?

Living sustainably means making choices that help reduce harm to the environment and conserve resources for future generations. It’s about thinking carefully about the products we buy, the energy we use, and the waste we create. Sustainable living doesn’t have to be hard or expensive. In fact, it often saves money and makes life healthier. As Tosha Larios, I’ve committed to living in a way that benefits both people and the planet, and I want to share how you can do the same.

Sustainable Food Choices

One of the biggest ways to live sustainably is through the food we eat. Eating organic, locally grown food reduces the environmental impact of long-distance transportation and the use of harmful chemicals. That’s why I started Star Track Farm, where we grow organic fruits and vegetables using sustainable farming practices. You can learn more about how we farm sustainably by visiting Star Track Farm.

In addition to eating organic, it’s important to eat foods that are good for our health. I talk a lot about how food can be used as medicine in my blog, Food as Medicine, where I share tips on how to eat in a way that heals and nourishes our bodies. Eating the right foods not only helps us stay healthy but also supports the environment by encouraging more sustainable farming practices.

Saving Money and Living Sustainably with Advanced Girl Math

Many people think that living sustainably costs more, but that’s not always true. In fact, one of the things I focus on with Advanced Girl Math is how to make smart financial decisions that are also good for the environment. By using resources wisely and cutting down on waste, you can save money and live sustainably at the same time. For example, buying fewer disposable items, conserving energy, and growing your own food are all ways to save money and help the environment.

Teaching Sustainability Through STEM

Sustainability and science go hand in hand. I believe that teaching young people about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is crucial to helping them understand the importance of sustainability. Through my blog STEM with Dr. T, I share ways to connect STEM education with real-world challenges like climate change and environmental protection. By understanding the science behind sustainable practices, we can all make more informed choices and inspire the next generation to protect our planet.

How to Start Living More Sustainably Today

You don’t have to overhaul your life to live more sustainably. Start with small changes that can add up over time. Here are a few easy steps you can take:

• Reduce Waste: Try to buy products with less packaging, recycle whenever possible, and avoid single-use plastic.
• Conserve Energy: Turn off lights when you’re not using them, unplug appliances, and consider using energy-efficient bulbs.
• Eat Smart: Choose organic and locally grown food when you can, and try to reduce food waste by planning meals ahead.
• Save Water: Fix leaky faucets, take shorter showers, and use water-saving appliances.
• Grow Your Own Food: Even a small garden can help reduce your environmental impact and provide you with fresh, healthy produce.

By taking these steps, you’ll not only help the environment, but you’ll also save money and live a healthier life. If you’re ready to start your journey toward sustainable living, you can find more resources on my website ToshaLarios.com.

Supporting businesses and practices that prioritize sustainability is one of the best ways to make a difference. Whether it’s shopping at farmers’ markets, choosing organic food, or supporting companies with eco-friendly policies, your choices matter. At Star Track Farm, we’re committed to providing sustainable, organic food to our community.
