Why Does North Face Have A Logo On The Back?

project


Initiative certainly bizarre to Eduardo Gold is an "inventor" who has brought Peru and put in practice the painting of a glacier, now melted.

The World Bank has given $ 200,000 for this project to work on the Chalon Sombrero Peak at about 4,756 meters above sea level.

Mr. Gold felt that the glacier white paint now been missing for decades, with paints containing ingredients all eco-friendly, to take advantage, increasing the albedo effect, which could reduce the temperature a few degrees, in so to recreate that local micro-climate which existed years ago.

A team of workers has bleached a small area, but is organized to complete the overall project of 70 hectares.

The painters do not use brushes, but pitchers to spray painting made from: lime, egg and industrial water, a mixture known already to colonial times in Peru.

The project has created much discussion in various fields. For some people, such as the Environment Minister, the money spent in this manner does not result in any way solve the climate problem in the area.

believes that there are programs much more interesting enough to take to get concrete results. However, the Ministry

Principal Peruvian climate change, has given the green light to the idea of \u200b\u200bMr. Gold.

We will see if this bizarre technique will produce some positive results.

I remember that in Peru there is a 70 per percent of the world's tropical glaciers, according to a World Bank report, over 22 per cent have melted in the last 30 years.

If you do not will be undertaken for effective programs, aimed at mitigating climate change, within 20 years, the glaciers could disappear altogether, creating huge water supply problems in Peru.
