Water water everywhere: How Can I Use Less – HealthyLifeJuicers.com

Water, the original good stuff and the topic of our second blog in the Green your juice series, where we like to add some great tips on how you can care for your health and the environment with your juicing habits.

It appears we have unlimited but this is definitely not the case! It is a precious life-giving resource and we as responsible people have to take every caution to reduce not only our carbon footprint but also our water footprint.  You may be thinking I’m drinking juice so I’m saving water ok check…donezo! Not the case, there are some other great ways you can reduce your usage, save money and the planet!

1. Washing your veggies and fruits- This is a huge chunk of the water used for juicing. If you wash each thing individually you could end up wasting gallons of water when you are fasting or juicing regularly.

A simple way to solve this is to either fill the sink or a pan with water to wash everything at once.  We recommend using veggie wash it is a great way to not only conserve water but also makes sure you remove all pesticides and wax from your produce.  There are also two great substitutes for a commercially sold wash.

1. Baking soda- Simply shake some baking soda in to your soaking water and let sit for 5-10 min.
2. Vinegar- Either add equal parts water and vinegar to a spray bottle or add to your soaking water.

These are both easy and economical ways to keep water usage down and healthy living up!

If you decide not to use cleaner in your wash-up process or if you are just giving them a second rinse off, consider gathering the water used for cleaning veggies to water house plants.

2. Waste disposal- Another way you can conserve water while juicing is to use the garbage disposal sparingly. Every time you cram-jam-slam those rouges down the drain to avoid putting them in the trash (which is a good thought of course but see our blog on how to make good us

e of your waste) you are running gallons of water down the drain to do so. Composing is a simple and economical way to solve this problem. I know you have been thinking of starting one, make today the day!

3. Clean up- The final way you can save the planet while saving yourself from toxins is during clean up.  It may not be the best part of the juicing process but it can make a huge impact if you do it with care. These are simple and universal tips for saving water while washing dishes.

1. Don’t doddle!– Make sure you have everything ready and nearby when you are ready to clean out your juicer. Running all over the kitchen with the faucet going is money and a precious resource down the drain.
2. Be Handy-Don’t be afraid to get your hands in there.  The more you can have clean before heading to the sink the less rinse time you will use before washing or heading to the dishwasher.
3. Stop the cycle– When washing juicer parts in the dishwasher, use the shortest cycle possible to get the job done to your liking. Always always wash with a full load!
4. Procrastinate– Depending on your juicer you may not need to clean it after every single use. Especially if you are juicing several times a day.

If you begin to think of water as the precious life-giving resource that it is than conservation becomes easy. Why waste something you don’t have to. Being conscious of your health and the health of the earth are the first steps towards a happy and balanced life.
