If you paint one square metre of roof white you will save 107.5 kilograms of greenhouse gas equivalent over a twenty year period.

If you paint your whole (1000 square feet : 93 square metres) roof white, you will save 10 tonnes of greenhouse gas equivalent over the twenty year lifetime of your paint.
