RoofTop-Ology

An interesting and simple idea to off set green house gas issues caused by car fumes- Paint rooftops WHITE in the sunnier parts of the country/world to reflect the sun's rays back into the atmosphere.  Brilliant?!  A recent study performed by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory proved that “painting urban surfaces in warm parts of the world white or a light color could offset the carbon emissions of all 600 million of the world’s cars for 18 to 20 years.”  This could mean the difference between life and extinction for those Polar Bears we've come to love.  The idea of using stimulus money to balance green initiatives with job creation fits snugly in there with goal's of the Obama Administration too. Back to basic thinking always amazes me the most.  Keep it simple and wonderful ideas and solutions find there way to the surface.  Or for this matter, the Rooftop.
