In New York is taking place a good deed for the environment that, paradoxically, does not involve paint things green but ... white paint. At least that's with the roofs of the city, the initiative has just completed its first million square feet of roofs white boys, white boys. The reason why this will save energy and you will be good to mom nature after a jump.
certainly know that black absorbs nearly all the light into heat, while white reflects almost all. The fact is that in a big city, earthy and light green color that one day I had the place which is now kilos under tons of asphalt and buildings much less heat generated, precisely, black, gray asphalt and skyscrapers.
So the initiative aims to lower the temperature of New York applying this color. It is estimated that about 2 degrees achieved after painting least 500 million roofs in total. We can get an idea knowing that first million is only 100 square feet rooftop. To do this, is being indispensable help of volunteers and companies, yet, is expected to finish the thing about 2030, at which time it would save 50% on air conditioning, among other things.
