Your fridge runs 24/7—but have you ever considered its environmental impact? Refrigerators account for about 7% of household energy use, and in older models, leaky refrigerants can seriously raise your carbon footprint.

To green your cooling habits:

• Choose A+++ rated or ENERGY STAR appliances

• Keep your fridge well-stocked to retain cold

• Defrost regularly and maintain proper seals

• Switch to models using natural refrigerants like R600a

Small behavioral shifts + efficient appliances = big savings (for your bills and the planet).

💡 Bonus: Smart fridges with consumption monitoring are becoming popular—and eco-friendly.
