What can we do to help repair the hole in the ozone layer?

Answer 1

Some believe that they have found that the ozone layer is being damaged, reported it.

Politicians have then pushed and been a pain-in-the-tush to make sure some candidate chemicals were banned while scientists continue to prove their theory.

They helped kill the Concorde, which was shown to damage the ozone layer.

(Not true! The Concord flight was discontinued due to age of the aircraft and a major incident killing everyone on board due to their age.)

Most of them are implementing personal choices that reduce their contributions to ozone layer depletion.

Most Science experts agree that the Ozone layer's thinning is only at the poles and only during their winter months. They realize that the vast bulk, if not all, of the thinning is natural and due to a lack of sunlight. The banning of chemicals that are heavier then air to help a portion of our atmosphere that is very high is actually a very hard sell. Logic and honesty can not be used. Items heavier then air seldom fly to levels of 50,000 feet.

They also realize that the greatest thinning (thus the largest hole) happened in the 1830's which was well before cfc's were in use. We know that this "hole" is caused by a lack of sunlight in the affected areas, not cfc's.

Answer 2

The Montreal protocol was an agreement in the 1970s when all countries agreed to phase out the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Since then the levels of these ozone-destroying chemicals have been decreasing. Scientists hope the ozone layer will have recovered by 2060.

Answer 3

Reduce the use of ozone-depleting substances like CFCs and HFCs, support initiatives that promote sustainable practices, advocate for stronger environmental policies to protect the ozone layer, and educate others on the importance of preserving the ozone layer.

Answer 5

CFC's are being banned. They are the ones causing ozone depletion.

Answer 6

Ozone layer is being depleted. To solve this, scientists are trying to ban the use of CFC's which cause depletion.

Answer 7

Scientists are trying to find some alternates to CFC's. These are the chemicals that have done most damage.

Answer 8

Scientist can fix ozone layer. They can do it if CFC emissions can be stopped.

Answer 9

The scientists are trying to make alternatives for CFC's. This can be done for preventing the depletion.
