Based on this information, you need to use a factor of about 2.5 on the weights depending on whether you had cooked or dried beans.

Once you've picked and dried your pinto beans what is the best way to store the dried pinto beans?
Make sure they are clean and do not contain any larva.
Store them in airtight containers, they will keep for over a year if they are really dry.
Use several small containers rather than a large one, in case some beans spoil. This will limit any damage to that one container only.
To make sure the beans do not contain too much moisture from the ambient air, finish-dry them in the oven a little below 100 °F / 38 °C for a couple of hours, then pack them while they are still warm.
Ideally all legumes and grains should be stored in a vacuum, which is not very practical for the home. The vacuum devices that are available use plastic bags or containers, which are not suitable for food, regardless of all certifications.
The best containers are glass jars, like the ones used for jam, with the same lids.
If you pack the beans warm, the lower air pressure when the beans cool down will keep them until you need them.
I'm not sure about freezing pinto beans, however I can say there is no doubt that cooked pinto beans taste better. If there is room in the freezer to add the pinto beans then you're not using anymore electricity then there already was being used.
That being said, my advice is to can the beans in sterilized mason jars with new, unused caps. The energy used here is little- enough to boil water (water that can be cooled & used in the garden or the toilet tank, washing machine....as you are obviously environmentally concerned. In that same vane, the jars can be re-used countless times as well as the rings; and the caps are recyclable. Just follow manufacturer's instructiond on canning and possibly watch the pH of your food- a little extr acid will be better for canning- or just a little extra water (less beans!) per jar in order to get to temperature more quickly. Finally, don't sweat the BPAs if you practice safe home canning!
AnswerSure you can freeze cooked pinto beans -- have done it for years, myself. Just make sure there's enough "gravy" mixed with them so they don't dry out. And if you've got room in your freezer, it shouldn't cost any additional money to freeze them.
Green Answer: As far as electricity usage, the less empty space you have to cool, the less your freezer will need to run. Freeze away.

Chloride ions are absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves, where they accumulate and interfere with photosynthesis or chlorophyll production.
