 * Going Green Project **

The White Roof Project need our help! This organization paints roofs white to help control climate. This will help our community save energy. Many rooftops in cities are covered in black tar. By painting these rooftops with a white coating, we can help to slow down climate change.

Here are the dimensions for 5 buildings in your community that have a black roof.

- Roof one: 40 feet x 60 feet

- Roof two: 20 feet x 60 feet

- Roof three: 90 feet x 120 feet

- Roof four: 

- Roof five:  Plan to put 2 coats of white paint on each roof. You will need to make a list of materials needed to complete the task. Using the Internet or a paint store catalog, generate a list of materials, such as paint, paint rollers, and/or brushes that will be needed. Remember, this is a non-profit organization and costs need to remain low.

Note: The White Rooftop website features a section about paint which can provide important information for you to complete a budget.

Prepare an oral presentation with visuals to present at the next PTA /PTO meeting to increase awareness of climate change issues.
