4. When I replaced my roof, I went from grey-black to a light brown.

That helps with the summer power bill, although probably not as much as putting on a white one would. But, not cutting down my trees, like many of my neighbors have been doing, more than makes up for it. The brown helps the heating bill in the winter, though.

A light-colored roof helps a lot, but I wish people would stop cutting down their trees, so that their stupid-ass lawns can grow better. Trees do as much to mitigate warming as does making pavement and roofs lighter.
