News portals and scientific journals constantly warn us about climate change and its implications on the health of planet earth, where of course we as a species are largely responsible for the imbalances that exist in all natural ecosystems, which has led to a generalized warming mainly in the last two decades.

In this regard, it is worth mentioning that, in the face of this unfortunate reality, international environmental organizations have been proposing solutions to combat global warming, however, there are simple, viable and sustainable strategies that many of us have perhaps never heard of.

One of these strategies to combat global warming and therefore reduce the effects of climate change, is to destroy hidden sources or reservoirs where industry stores greenhouse gases, destroying these industrial deposits is a simple practice designed to prevent gases continue for longer periods affecting the health of the planet for a longer time.

It should be emphasized that household appliances are the main sources or reservoirs of greenhouse gases, hence, a tangible measure to help reduce climate change is precisely to extract the refrigerant gases that have the machines in disuse and then proceed to eliminate these devices.

Hence, many environmental organizations, states and ecological groups find in this way of combating global warming, as a clean and safe option to destroy greenhouse gases.

To close this publication, it is worth mentioning that among the household appliances that should be destroyed after reaching their useful life are refrigerators, air conditioning units, refrigerant gas cylinders, among others of equal importance.
