Clean Green - The environment will thank you!

Saving energy prevents pollution. In most households, the refrigerator is the single biggest energy consuming kitchen appliance. If you replace a refrigerator bought in 1990 or prior with a new ENERGY STAR compliant refrigerator, you'll save enough energy to light the average household for about four months.

You can also reduce the amount of energy that your refrigerator or freezer uses by following these simple tips:

• Position your refrigerator away from a heat source such as an oven, and away from direct sunlight.
• Leave a space between the wall and the refrigerator, and keep the coils clean.
• Keep your refrigerator between 35 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit and your freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Minimize the amount of time the refrigerator door is open
