Below is a picture of a two liter bottle with a piece of white 8.8 x 11 recycled paper inside, the paper is placed in
wound up to the short side. When these cover a roof with one or two layers it reflects and absorbs a majority
of the suns energy to keep the roof significantly cooler. The roof should then be black or dark so that in the
winter one stands up the bottles so the sun hits the roof. In theory is these could be angled so that in the
summer the sun hits the paper and in the winter it hits the roof. The one on the right is using a cut off two liter
bottle to pour the water in and grocery bags to minimize water evaporation for watering a tomato plant, a
different usage of a two liter bottle minimizing water loss..

Below I preformed an experiment, initial reference in full sunlight i had a rubber 3/8 inch white surface and a
rubber 3/8 inch black surface with temperature probes underneath. On 75 degree ambient days the max
temperature differential was about 63 degrees. Just under the white surface 94 degrees and black surface
157 degrees F.
Then repeated with two layers of coke bottles with 1 and a half sheets of recycled white paper in each one,
with the caps on the bottles loosely. (as shown below on the right) The two layers of two liter bottles was
cooler than the white surface. As you can see the bottles keep the black surface cooler than the white roof.
Ambient temperature at the time was 76 degrees F.
So with recycled free items people can keep roofs cooler in the summer and either stand the bottles up or
put in a bag in a small area and not lose the suns heating effect in the winter.

Re: cover septic systems with a screen
.STOP mosquito's …
where can mosquitoes breed?, answer: in septic systems...stop the dengue carrying Aedes aegypti.
A proposition worthy of investigation: Is it possible that a simple 10-cent piece of metal screen can eliminate dengue- or malaria and vector disease
carrying mosquitoes in man modified environments? Over 10 PhD and MD's, as well as the Director of Disaster Relief for Central America, have
signed a letter suggesting that this should be investigated.
What evidence supports this proposition? The project initiator, who is an inventor with an engineering degree, in the winter lives in a desert area with
an average of 3 inches of rain per year. This area of the Baja Mexico has mosquito problems, including the mosquito-born dengue fever. The
initiator had no mosquito problem until he built a septic system on his property. Inspection of the properly sealed septic system produced mosquitoes
flying out of the inspection cover into the initiators face demonstrating the habitat or breeding source.
After a screen was placed on the air vent to the septic system, the mosquitoes virtually disappeared from the property within a few days. This
experiment was duplicated numerous times in a nearby campground. When the screen was placed on the 4-inch septic tank vent in the campground,
several hundred to thousands of mosquitoes were seen trapped on the septic system side of the screen. The screen has been missing almost every
year at the campground, and each time the sequence reoccurred: people were eaten alive in the campground, then the vents were screened, and
the mosquitoes disappeared within a few days. This has been duplicated numerous times.
other evidence
A recent Naples Florida newspaper article 3/27/04 by the Collier Mosquito Control District discussed a problem, a homeowner who was a seasonal
resident was finding dead and live mosquitoes in their home bathroom and kitchen when returning after being away for months. This full article link is
posted on my web site and is critically important to demonstrating that mosquitoes breed in septic systems and can enter the house via vents/drain
systems. This was with a mosquito district inspecting the exterior, how did mosquitoes get into a closed up home. Their conclusions also a link on my
web page came to the conclusion to screen the vents and more.
Here is one of their answers;
Answer to #1 & 2 (How did they get in, and where were they breeding?):Mosquitoes were flying down the vent stack, into the septic tank where
they were breeding. The water in the toilet bowl and drains would evaporate over time, allowing some mosquitoes to find their way into the house.
Checks of the CDC and WHO websites showed that while both note that mosquitoes breed in septic systems and the septic system should be checked
for leaks and damage, neither suggests the screening of septic system vents. This needs to be changed and add vents. Web searches likewise showed
that only one U.S. site, (for Stinson Beach, CA.), and only about 4 other cities worldwide (in Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, India, ),
recommended screening septic system vents to control/eradicate mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. This implies that simple screens over septic
system vents hold the potential for controlling mosquito-born diseases, including dengue fever and malaria. Logic follows since it is written up in
these 4 regions plus the Florida example this can not be a co-incidence and should suffice to investigate. We must also keep in mind that septic
systems are not a natural part of the ecosystem, they are man made so the presence of man has contributed to the increased volume of mosquitoes.
Further thought suggested that if screens are good in this application, a trap would be better. Many mosquitoes, including those which carry dengue
fever, fly to the nearest source of standing water, generally within 20-50 meters of the person bitten. They lay their eggs and go for another feast and
if any previous person was infected with a vector disease this next bite will spread the disease. A trap as shown would use the septic system water
vapor to attract the mosquito (i.e. it is the bait), and would prohibit both the adult (which now could be infected) and the offspring from escaping to
bite (again and again).
The result would be even more effective than the screens noted above. See the below demonstration drawing.The goal of this site it to bring
attention to society that they need to put 10 cent screens on house and septic vents to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes in their septic systems. All
we need to do is put metal screens on the septic systems for now.
Another major goal is to get the CDC and World Health Organization to change/modify their web sites and notify all appropriate government
agencies to modify and disseminate this information to put 10 cent wire screens on all septic vents and house vents in areas where there are
mosquitoes.
The evidence I have will be posted on this site in the future when I have time. We have numerous PhDs and MDs that have agreed and signed a
support letter for this mission. I have a large file I have compiled on mosquitos found in septic systems. note the file named screen on septic is the
most applicable evidence written by an organization in India. There is a link to it below or I can send it. Then look at the typical recommendations
by Ohio State and WHO, they do not see the correlation with screens on septic vents. This is true of the CDC recommendations, they all miss the
mosquitoes breeding in septic systems escaping through the vent.
Second to this goal I am trying to get funding to develop a one way funnel trap that allows a mosquito to fly in the vent tube but then the mosquitoes
cannot fly out after they lay eggs or once they hatch. Very similar in concept to fly and bee type traps that work. We have the natural attractant the
vent so lets make use of it.

Using two liter bottles with paper with paper inside to cool the roof the end result is that at no cost
+ saving landfill space, homes and businesses can start saving heating and cooling cost now, all
that is needed is to educate the public on the benefits to them and the world.
Cool roofs can save the homeowner and could save the world plenty of energy. Nobel Laureate US
Secretary of Energy Chu has been touting this every chance he gets. We all know the difference
between touching a white car vs dark one in the summer. A issue with going just white is the fact
that we lose the heat gain in the winter that is estimated at 25% net. But I propose a way that we do
not lose the winter gain with recycled products that fill up our landfills. Below I show how this can
be done with white paper and 2 liter bottles, no cost.... So great for poor people and developing nations

" Steven Chu, the US Secretary of Energy and a Nobel prize-winning scientist, said yesterday that making roofs and
pavements white or light-coloured would help to reduce global warming by both conserving energy and reflecting sunlight
back into space. It would, he said, be the equivalent of taking all the cars in the world off the road for 11 years."
Speaking in London prior to a meeting of some of the world’s best minds on how to combat climate change, Dr Chu said the
simple act of painting roofs white could have a dramatic impact on the amount of energy used to keep buildings
comfortable, as well as directly offsetting global warming by increasing the reflectivity of the Earth."
