June 26
World Refrigeration Day
Let's not take cooling for granted in modern life. Let's consider what life would be like without it and be thankful for the innovators who made it possible.
World Refrigeration Day, celebrated on June 26th, highlights the importance of refrigeration in modern life. Founded by Stephen Gill and the World Refrigeration Secretariat, it honors the birthday of Lord Kelvin, who contributed to temperature measurement. Refrigeration is crucial for food preservation, air conditioning, and various other areas. Activities include cleaning refrigerators, thanking refrigeration technicians, and considering a career in the field. The UN supports this day through the OzonAction program, raising awareness about the importance of refrigeration.
