In The Kitchen - Refigerator
Many do not realize that the refrigerator is by far the single most energy consuming appliance in their kitchen. The mere act of opening the refrigerator door is responsible for between $30 to $60 worth of energy charges to the typical family each year. By switching to a more energy efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerator, the amount of energy required to light every single house in the United States for over four hours could be conserved within a year. Another great alternative is to purchase a refrigerator with a glass door. That way, instead of constantly opening and closing your refrigerator to scan the contents (a huge waster of energy), you can simply look through the door. While energy efficient refrigerators tend to be somewhat more expensive, over just a short time you will make up the difference in price with all the money you save on your electric bill.
