The refrigerator? No more
The new challenge 'label' comes from Cremona. Sounding the Association Fridge Free Family Guy is Vaudetto, familiar face of network Lilliput.E Caterpillar, the transmission of Radio 2 has taken over the news.
"We do not live in Alaska, but in Cremona and decorate our very common kitchen refrigerator. Six years ago a friend told us that during the cold months kept off the refrigerator. Then for convenience, we had to stay home a week from a tour of holiday and another, but before leaving we had the opportunity to defrost it and leave it off, so even if the height of summer, we tried to live a week without a fridge. We are not dead. Since returning from holidays are past four years and a half and the fridge is still off. We do not hide some initial disagreements, but with some adjustment on food, on shopping, cooking and eating habits of today no wonder we end its futility, "says Vaudetto. Result? Drastic reduction of electricity consumption (kilowatt-hour per day from about 3 to 0.7 kilowatt-hour, maybe not defrost with sufficient regularity to class anyway and was not sucked a lot of energy), cost savings, no investment. But the result is in the best quality of foods that are preserved better without large changes in temperature and room temperature are much more tasty. Many families
balanced joined in this experiment with great results. "Who asked us," explains Vaudetto, "a middle way (eg for self-produce the ice cream at home) we gave these guidelines: make / buy perishables and eat immediately. Turn on the refrigerator
those 3-6 days a year where you eat ice cream. Use only small fridge for ice cream. Place the refrigerator in common. Place the refrigerator in the building shared in a common area. " A fridge would suffice for at least 4 and perhaps most families. Marco Deriu
argues that independence is a false "values" the West. Turn off the fridge may be a way to create greater interdependence with those around us. 'Other families have pooled washing machine, oven. We should start trying.
Only a constructive point of view would be reduced by at least 75% the production of these items. Then used by several people (think of the oven) you can have better yields, and lower maintenance costs and a better life, "concludes Vaudetto.
