There is much more to this article than discussed. Families are the
consumers of products and do have a direct influence on environmental
issues.
Unless we have people with hand tools expending energy to make
products or packaging, we rely on manufacturing to burn fossil fuels
to generate electricity and make products. The more we make, the
greater the emissions and there is a direct domino effect into our
bodies where health is affected.
Avoiding climate change is imperative as heating the atmosphere
changes weather, water, agriculture and everything we do. Now that
the cause of urban heat islands has been found, people can paint
their existing house a responsible color to stop the heat, ozone
depletion, acid rain, mercury emissions while eliminating their urban
heat island immediately. Here are links showing a time-lapsed
infrared video of buildings becoming urban heat islands early in the
morning. The 3rd video shows you how people are cooked in their own
buildings.
