Use the winter cold to your advantage!
We all know by now that thermal mass in the fridge is a good idea… so we have those plastic bottles filled with water and taking up space not occupied by food, right?! Well, when temps dip below freezing, put a couple outside. When they freeze, swap them out for unfrozen ones in the fridge. it’s a manual heat pump!

As far back as he can remember Jack Reichert has been interested in the environment. In the second grade, he rallied all of his classmates to donate one recess a week to cleaning up litter from the schoolyard. That was the same year that a city councilman asked him to help with his campaign because of the letter Jack had written asking him to clean up Boston Harbor. Ever since Jack has followed the development of the international green conscience with anticipation and hope that one day we will treat Mother Earth with the respect she deserves and not turn her into another Giving Tree.

Not a very ingenious idea, but one that a lot of people probably never use. I’d love to put this tacit to use, but it’s 70 degrees here, again, in November. Don’t know when I’ll get the chance to actually do it.
