White Roof Project is an exciting, grassroots nonprofit that educates the public about the benefits of going green by painting white.
A White Roof Project is low cost, easy to implement, relieves stress on the power grid, cuts down on smog, and creates tangible change for individuals and communities. If we were to coat 5 percent of rooftops per year worldwide, we would be finished by 2030. This would save us 24 billion metric tons in CO2 - the equivalent of turning off the world for an entire year! You can check out our website at www.whiteroofproject.org.
White Roof Project has a strong presence in New York City where we use volunteers to coat the rooftops of eligible nonprofit and low-income buildings. We helped create the first white roof project model block on the Lower East Side and have been expanding our work to new high-need neighborhoods. We are combating the searing heat that plagues NYC in the summer - all while saving residents money on their electric bills.
Social media is a huge component of our outreach and educationcampaign and is especially important during the summer months. Our successful social media strategy includes a viral video with over 45,000 views and numerous press hits in sources such as CNN, Reuters, and many more.This is a great opportunity for an enthusiastic person to buildskills while having fun working with a group of young social entrepreneurs.
