Light Colored Roof Benefits:
- Keeps buildings cooler and reduces energy use from air conditioning
- Reflects sunlight back away from the Earth
- Extends the life expectancy of many different types of roofing systems
- Avoids the high roof temperatures associated with exposure to the sun
- “Completely benign” geo-engineering scheme

Making roads and roofs a paler color could
