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!
Here's an idea for your community:Up to 50 decorated refrigerators will be on display at the The Art of Recycling: The Coolest Show in Town, a special exhibit at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. Exhibition visitors can vote on a favorite model. A panel of judges will select the top three entries based on the following criteria: coolest; best use of recycled materials; overall creativity; and best portrayal of the campaign theme - The Art of Recycling.
