Today is the international Ozone day. Twenty-five years ago the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer was signed. Much progress has been made since then. But, there’s still much to do, to give the Earth a breather to reconstruct its ozone Layer.
methyl bromide needs to be eliminated from agricultural pesticide, on this I stand of the opinion that chemicals have high risks and when we mess with nature, we don’t have much quality in our products. Today I read this interesting article on Cotton Farming
Illegal use of CFCs needs to be stopped and the Ozone Layer HIGHLY monitored. Not only is this our solely living place and we can’t destroy it but serious health risks are attached to the depletion of the Ozone Layer. 130,000 new cases of melanoma are reported around the world each year and around 66,000 people die from skin cancer yearly. This is the reason after all why they tell us to protect ourselves from The UV.
The increase in temperature also affects other biological lives, affecting biodiversity which this year we are trying to make people aware of.
