By limiting the burning of fossil fuels, we remove the gases that interfere
with ozone production. For over four decades, it has been known that
the chlorine in CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) breaks down the ozone
layer. In order to restore the ozone, avoid using any products including
pesticides, which could encourage a CFC release. By switching coal-
fired power plants off and replacing them with renewable energy options,
such as solar or wind, the ozone will have an opportunity to recover.
Trees and other forms of plant life absorb carbon out of the atmosphere
and replace it with oxygen. Practises such as deforestation therefore
encourage ozone depletion because there isn’t the required natural tools
in place for restoration. Implementing sustainable land-use which offers
quick-growth crop while reducing deforestation could be an immediate
solution to ozone depletion that we should explore.
Even though all these solutions are available, people are still oblivious to
them as they cannot adapt to the change in which we have to make in
order to see results. A large and growing number of our population,
refuse to take responsibility for the depletion of the ozone layer, caused
by centuries of our man-made mechanics and products. Due to this I
think that the recover of the ozone layer will take even longer than
predicted unless we spread awareness about the ozone depletion and
start making a change as an upcoming generation.
