OBAMA WHITE ROOF CAMPAIGN
Dear President Obama,
I am writing you today in regard to your request for information and ideas on environment initiatives that will help the US with sustainability and create a positive impact on job growth. The company I represent Does environmentally friendly energy efficient roofing. We do everything from simple industrial roofs which we replace with white environmentally friendly recyclable roofing membranes to Solar and Green growing roofs. Our company did the largest Solar Roof install in Minnesota last year. As you probably know solar not only produces free clean energy but it also creates the most job hours on a 4 to 1 ratio when compare to other environmentally renewable resource or energy jobs.
Our company Four Seasons Energy Efficient Roofing is working with the community in Minnesota to connect the green and sustainable energy community through social networking, expo's, seminars and word of mouth. We would like to see white and or solar roofs on all buildings in The metro and rural areas. Minneapolis already has the vision that someday in the near future all flat roof surfaces could be white roofs. We are currently reaching out to schools and social groups to expand peoples knowledge of solar power and what white roofing can do for the environment.
If every flat roof in Minnesota simply put on a white roof with high reflectivity it would reduce global warming and energy usage dramatically. White roofs with high reflectivity dont heat up like most roofs and dont create the heat island effect. White roofs in Minnesota can do two main things for energy use. One they lessen the need for Air conditioning in the summer by reflecting the suns heat back and not absorbing it and allowing the heat to enter the building. Two in the winter the white roof stays cool and does not melt snow pack which in-turn acts as an insulator increasing R-value and decreasing heat loss through the roof. Over the life span of the a white roof it will more than pay for its install with energy savings. On top of this our roofing system is 100% recyclable and never needs to go into a landfill. Our white roofing is also the easiest way to build a green or solar roof with a multi stage design. The white roof can be installed and energy savings are seen immediately and in the future a solar array of green growing matter can be added at any time to the white roof. Adding growing green mass to a roof also decreases the heating and cooling costs and lessens the water runoff into sewer systems, lakes, and rivers.
In short the white roof is one of the easiest ways we can act to change the United States Of America to make us a global leader in environmental stewardship. In the process of converting to white roofs we decrease the heat island effect which leads to global warming, we save energy with high reflectivity, and we ready all of our buildings for Solar arrays or green growing roofs.
