How do you increase the ozone layer by spreading co2?

Carbon dioxide, CO2, has very little to do with the ozone layer. The ozone layer will repair itself if we stop damaging it, which we have, by banning CFCs, chlorofluorocarbon gases, the chlorine of which was destroying the ozone molecules. Scientists hope the ozone layer will be completely restored by 2060.

What is the enemy of the ozone layer and where is this enemy found?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are the main enemy of the ozone layer. They are found in refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and foam-blowing agents. When released into the atmosphere, CFCs break down ozone molecules, leading to ozone depletion.

Yes they do. It is the process that happens during ozone depletion.
