Creative art event by EPA and DOE spreads the word about refrigerator energy recycling

If Americans replaced pre-1993 refrigerators with ENERGY STAR models, the saved energy could generate enough power for more than 8.1 million homes yearly.

An easy way for Americans to lower their electricity consumption would be to recycle that old second refrigerator or freezer, or to replace their current unit with a new ENERGY STAR unit.

ART Show Brings Cool Attention to Recycling Fridges!
