Ecology: meaning "study of house or living relations"

What is EcoTipsForLife.com not?
Ecotipsforlife.com is not a save the planet type website. I think we can be fairly certain the planet will save and balance itself out with or without our intervention and/or meddling.

We as a human species? Not so certain. We might or might not survive our planet's balancing act. We must find our own balance, awareness and a way to co-exists with the planet in order to survive.

Ok, what is EcoTipsForLife.com then?
EcoTipsForLife.com is a simple blog with the intent to show you that you can make a large impact by making simple changes that could even save you time in your daily routine. Browse the site and see for yourself.

Tip #16: Filling the gaps

February 10th, 2009 Thomas (Ecotipsforlife.com Admin)

Budget: $0
Time required: few minutes
Estimated Impact: Energy savings

Tip: Because solid items hold cold better then empty space/air your fridge or freezer needs more energy to keep all the contents nice and cold, whenever it gets low on contents.

Consider filling up some op this space with some water filled containers you may have lying around (like in your plastic recycling bin…).

This way you’re reusing the bottles that you where going to recycle and your helping your fridge to stay cool with less energy.
