Perhaps it is not surprising that our refrigerators have grown about 3 cubic feet in size since 1980. Having a refrigerator provides consumers with more space to stock up on food, which then can easily lead to overconsumption and waste. Whether it is our house, garage or refrigerator, we tend to fill our space, however much we have.
So if you're thinking of upgrading your refrigerator, please keep in mind that small is beautiful, and that bigger is certainly not always better.
