Juan Carlos from White Roof Project in New York has this inspiring website: White Roof Project New York. Also watch their roof painting volunteers in action video.

Nicky Walker’s White Roof is one of several at the North end of Tilley Road. Just 100m2 of white roof reduces planetary heating equivalent to taking approx. 2.5 cars off the road each year!

A bit later on Nicky Walker also told us about her song choice, Jack Johnson’s ‘All At Once’. Here’s a ton more info about Jack’s Greening Tours and the non-profit’s he supports. He’s even had an App designed so that concert goers can find carpooling rides to his shows!!! Jack Johnson Greening info
