Keeping your Fridge Alive!

Save energy by keeping your refrigerator full, but there should still be enough empty space around your items for the air to circulate efficiently. The freezer should be more tightly packed, since your items will help to keep each other cool. If you don't have enough food to fill the space, you can use water filled containers.
