People always talk about wanting to conserve energy and some try to do it and green. That is a good thing. What I have noticed is that lots of things can and could be changed to help conserve energy but never gets mentioned.
Take for instance, Going to the grocery store. We all do it and have to. We might get some bread, milk, cereal, and milk or cheese. But wait, how is the mike and cheese kept cold? In a freezer, an open face freezer. All that cold is just falling to the floor. It keeps the products cold, but also the people, the floor and most of the stuff surrounding that isle. Talk about WASTEFUL!! Not to mention the energy costs and refrigerant that is used in the process of cooling.
Hey, I know, let’s open the door of our home and cool the neighborhood! The open faced freezer is the same suggestion. Very inefficient and inadequate for what is needed. I went to the store last night and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. What is the energy cost of this unit while it is running 24/7 and also on the environment? My daughter always complains about how cold it is in that area. No wonder! They are cooling the whole back on the store with the open faced freezers and coolers.
Can people offer suggestion on this topic? Perhaps we can and should close all of the open face freezers and coolers and this would save a tremendous amount of energy and cut down on the store’s electric bill. In my opinion, it is an antiquated way of keeping food products cold and fresh. This is just my thoughts on the energy crisis that we are having…
