I remember in the 80s and 90s all the talk about the ozone layer, and the move away from stuff with CFCs. At the time I was just a child, not fully aware of the magnitude of what was going on.

Now, looking back, I am in awe, that the world was able to recognise there was a threat to society's ongoing existence. And work together to instigate world wide change. The Montreal protocol is ratified by 198 UN members.

Today's environmental GOOD NEWS! The hole in the ozone layer closed on December 1 The ozone layer is a layer of the atmosphere that protects us from UV light. Years ago, it was noticed that chlorofluorocarbons in aerosol sprays were aiding in the depletion of the ozone layer, and a hole was detected in this protective layer. After years of regulation and work, the hole is closed. https://www.eldiario24.com/en/ozone-hole-closes-hope-rise/26941/ https://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/
