Yes, it is.The ozone layer is recovering because of ban on CFC's.
Earth is that lucky planet. It has got a shield of ozone.
Forests help a great deal in recovering the ozone. It is because they produce oxygen which forms ozone.
The ozone layer is recovering. It is because of Montreal Protocol's ban on CFC's.
there is just over 75% of the ozone layer left!
The ozone layer formed through the interaction of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun with oxygen molecules in the Earth's atmosphere. When UV radiation hits oxygen molecules (O2), it can split them into individual oxygen atoms (O). These oxygen atoms can then combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone (O3), which creates the protective ozone layer in the stratosphere.
The size of ozone layer in year 2008 was moderate. It was recovering.
The ozone hole at either pole appears and disappears annually. This can make one think that the ozone layer is recovering. At least we did not have a record sized hole for a couple of years now.

Yes. People developed chemicals such as CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) for use in refrigerators and as a propellant gas in aerosols. These CFCs rose high into the atmosphere and caused damage to the ozone layer. the use of CFCs has since been banned and the ozone layer is slowly recovering. Hopefully.
The ozone layer is slowly recovering due to international efforts to reduce harmful substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Continued enforcement of the Montreal Protocol, which phases out ozone-depleting substances, is crucial for further recovery of the ozone layer. Individuals can also contribute by using ozone-friendly products and reducing their carbon footprint.
Recovering the ozone layer involves reducing the emissions of ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). International agreements like the Montreal Protocol have been instrumental in phasing out these substances. Additionally, promoting sustainability and green technologies can help protect and restore the ozone layer.
The main damage to the ozone layer was caused by freons, with the layer thinning to such an extent over Antarctica that it was referred to as the'ozone hole'. Fortunately, the industrial use of freons was banned, perhaps just in time, and the ozone layer is recovering. Alternative fuels are unlikely to affect this recovery.
