Since one of my goals is to give up using a Fridge to reduce our carbon footprint I thought it would be good timing to do a weekend roundup on this concept.
While Americans may find this idea hard to conceive, when you look at the larger picture Ameicans are pretty spoiled with having refridgeration! Living without one, while hard in the beginning to give up old habits, it CAN be done. Not only that but eating and drinking room temperature beverages is actually better for our bodies!
So here we go, hope you enjoy and gain some insights to this idea!

Living without your Fridge and Beyond is the first site I came across that got me started in thinking along these lines.

A good article on how countries without refridgeration do it and that Americans refridgerate many things that really do not have to be. http://greenanswers.com/q/12695/food-agriculture/how-do-countries-dont-have-refrigeration-make-their-las
Enjoy your Weekend!
Would you consider going without a fridge or is it hard for you to even imagine?

I'll be honest... Not gonna happen at my house any time soon! ;) But I'm going to check out your links cause I find stuff like this fascinating!!
ReplyDeleteDitto on what ~Carla~ just said! Lol...
ReplyDeleteLike Carla I find it fascinating but I couldn't do it at my house. First off we stock up on meats and such on sale and they need to be refrigerated. 2nd I have been in the medical profession for to long to even thing about the effects of this.
ReplyDeleteThe articles are interesting though
Judy, I am curious now, being in the medical proffesion , what do you think the ill effects of non refridgeration may be?
DeleteI think it just means we would have to really think differently about how we shop and store foods , but I think in most ways it can be done safely but would love to hear your thoughts on what effects you may see as an issue with this
