On Top of Things
Being as that climate change has become a major issue; people are coming up with new and innovative ways to combat it. One of the ways being talked about lately is painting the roofs of homes white. Experts agree that repainting roofs and changing the color of streets from black to concrete would reflect much of the suns light back into the atmosphere. This would lead to a reduction of global warming.
I like the idea and applaud the state of California for making it a law. All new homes with flat roofs are now required to be painted white. I certainly hope that other states will follow suit and pass a similar law. Humans must be willing to make simple changes in order to keep our planet healthy. I hope that everyone will join with me and pressure their local representatives to make this a reality!
