I agree that individual actions pale in comparison to industrial/capitalist causes, but they do aggravate global warming too - IIRC the remedy to global warming is 25% individual actions and 75% abolition of capitalism (to summarize).
Turning fans on or off is not a major impact, but producing ice in the fridge to cool the air begins to reach the levels where huge energy inefficiency has an impact, even at individual levels.

Yours are low-tech and efficient.
