📚 WHITEST WHITE

Hey kids, I'd like to ask you a question before we begin our story today. In the summer🌞, what color of T-shirt👕 do you find most comfortable, light⚪ or dark⚫?

You know the answer, I'm sure. Light colors⚪ will keep you cooler❄. Can you explain why? Well, black is the heat🥵 absorber.

Do you know what does absorb means? Let me put it another way. What do you think of durian🍈? I'm sure we can't come to an agreement. People who say yes belong to the black⚫ group, others to the light group⚪. Now it's game time; who eats the most durian-flavor cookies🍈🥯 will win. Who gets the prize? We all know in advance. Durian cookies will be consumed by the black group.

The same applies to the heating cookie ball🥵🥯. White dislikes the heating ball. Thus, when they meet, the light color slams the door⛔ on the heating ball. The lighter the color, the less heat will be allowed in. So what happens then? Temperature drops⛔. Therefore, just wear a white⬜ T-shirt to keep cool.❄

Since white cools, is it possible to use these colors as a substitute for those cooling machines❄? The answer may have just been found because some scientists have made a white color that's the whitest by far. What does that mean? They say no⛔ to the heat cookies as much as they can.

Moreover, scientists👨🏻‍🔬 want buildings🏙️ to wear white shirts🥼 to help the environment. The nova coat will save energy🔋 and some air pollution 🛢️by reducing the amount of air conditioning in summer.

How cool is that? However, since buildings cannot change their shirts like us, there may be another problem🙋‍♀️. We don't want heat reflected from our house🏙️ in winter⛄, making our shelter feel like an igloo❄. That may be your task, kids🧒. Get smarter to help the world.
