White world.
Remember the old times? Just a few basic colors on the road? Now one can see a huge palette of hues. Ever seen those “invisible” cars or of “chameleon” color? It is possible to find any color you want. Better yet you can customize it to your wildest imagination.
So, let’s talk about white cars. You did not expect that! Yes, white. The meaning is purity, innocence and clarity. It is considered to be the color of perfection. Want some more positive feedback?
Well, you probably knew that already. There is something else to this wonderful white color. Did you know if we had white (or cement) color roofs, roads and pavements we could safe our planet Earth from global warming? Steven Chu, the Nobel prize-winning physicist and our Energy Secretary, sais that “white world” could reflect more sunlight, which can avert climate catastrophe. It also will allow cutting carbon dioxide and saving on energy and money on air-conditioning.
”There is a friend of mine, a colleague of mine, Art Rosenfeld, who’s pushing very hard for a geo-engineering we all believe will be completely benign, and that’s when you have a flat-top roof building, make it white. Now you smile, but he’s done a calculation, and if you take all the buildings and make their roofs white, and if you make the pavements more of a concrete type of color rather than a black type of color, and you do this uniformly… it’s the equivalent of reducing the carbon emissions due to all the cars on the road for 11 years” Steven Chu said.
It sounds so simple and easy, that it’s hard to believe it might work. But isn’t all that genius is simple?
