"Fridges are not sexy," said Fionnuala Walravens. "The environmental impact of supermarket refrigeration is a big issue but little understood … it is a hell of a lot bigger than free plastic bags."
How can you deny someone with a name like that? It's as beautiful as Pleasant Riderwood, as ominous as Lady Dedlock.
CFCs were bad news. The Kool-Aid ads in early '90s told us so. Many industries switched over to gases like HFC, which proved to be just as bad, but in a different way. Users like Coke and McDo have switched to safer refrigerants, so anyone who freezes food for a living ought to do the same. Then again, the deniers can always throw in the towel and go back to sulfur dioxide. At least you'll know when you have a leak. The dead store clerk in aisle 5 will provide your first clue. Maybe just in Oklahoma, where Senator Inhofe and Grandfather Smallweed shop.
