I saw this post recently of a fridge design. The post was on treehugger.com, a site that reviews many, quite obviously, environmentally friendly designs. They say that “the small fridge” will be seen more and more. It is a design for a refridgerator that is taller and thinner, creating more space. On the outside of it, there is a spout for water, such as many fridges have now, hooked up to the tap. The catch about this fridge is that it saves a much larger amount of energy, “20% more efficient than the standard offerings”. Rock on.
