		<description>great site!  lots of resources for people starting out on the home conservation front.  thanks!

however, the picture of the freezer above makes me cringe.  it takes more energy to cool air than solid mass. the freezer is too empty and that&#039;s wasting energy (and your money).  don&#039;t need to keep more food on hand?  that&#039;s fine.  start filling up containers (2-liter soda, milk jugs, tc) with water and put them in the freezer and/or fridge.  this will eat up some of that excess space and keep your fridge/freezer from working so hard!</description>
