Ancient Veggie Times Tips to Green your Fridge

  1. Ditch the plastic-go for glass containers
  2. Upgrade and downsize your fridge, look for Energy Star label (isn't that getting revamped somehow)
  3. Forget ice and water dispensers-use 14% of the energy
  4. Fill it up
  5. Leftovers-no more than 3-4 days
  6. Keep it clean-naturally, baking soda & water or vinegar
  7. Vacuum the coils
  8. Check the seals
  9. Keep fridge from hot spots-north or east wall is best & away from window or stove
  10. 36-38 degrees, freezer at 0

Veg Times March 2008

Annual cleaning up of piled up magazines has begun. I have been considering #1 and we are doing #3 by default, darn you ice makers!
