kWh/year, when opening and
closing it, also in the cooling part.
#2. Deforestation increases.
#3. It takes up to 500 years to
degrade and causes the death of
marine species.
#4. Food waste accounts for about
8% of all human-caused
greenhouse gas emissions
#5. They contain gases that mix
mercury and argon in small
quantities, which makes them
highly toxic.
