- Ditch the plastic-go for glass containers
- Upgrade and downsize your fridge, look for Energy Star label (isn't that getting revamped somehow)
- Forget ice and water dispensers-use 14% of the energy
- Fill it up
- Leftovers-no more than 3-4 days
- Keep it clean-naturally, baking soda & water or vinegar
- Vacuum the coils
- Check the seals
- Keep fridge from hot spots-north or east wall is best & away from window or stove
- 36-38 degrees, freezer at 0
