Now and then I will mention a product here that has performed well for me or one that I particularly like in the kitchen. Today I have read about a new product that intrigues me, and I'm wondering what others know about this new invention. The product is The Ozonator, The Green Refrigerator Machine, and I first read about it in the August 2011 issue of the GreenZine.
The Ozonator has been approved by the FDA and has won several awards. According to the article, this little machine is designed to sit on the top shelf of your refrigerator and generate ozone. It is as small as a carton of milk, and it runs on 4 "D" batteries, cycling on and off every 60 minutes. The ozone will delay the onset of mold and decay, and in turn vegetables and fruits will last longer. An added benefit of using the Ozonator is that odors will be eliminated in the refrigerator.
What would this mean to the average home? According to the article, a household of four will toss out about 180 pounds of ruined produce a year, at a loss of about $590. Interesting. Could I really save those boxes of moldy strawberries? And how much would it cost me to save a box of berries?
The answer is surprising. The Ozonator can be purchased for $30, and its inventor, Brittany Karlen, says you'll get your money back in food savings in the first month of use. Not only is her machine inexpensive, Brittany wanted to do something in memory of her grandmother who died of Type 1 Diabetes, so she donates a percentage of sales to the Iacocca Diabetes Foundation.
I was raised by parents who were products of the Depression. They taught me to save and not to waste. When I was about 10 years old, I remember my dad giving me a swat on the bottom for peeling too much of the potatoes away and wasting them. I guess I learned my lesson well, because I try my best not to be wasteful now as an adult. Maybe a machine like The Ozonator could help eliminate food waste in our homes while it eliminates the slime in our refrigerators.
