Ozone is a gas in the atmosphere that protects everything living on the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. Without the layer of ozone in the atmosphere, it would be very difficult for anything to survive on the surface.

Check your fire extinguishers to find active ingredients. If “halon” or “halogenated hydrocarbon” is the main ingredient, find a hazardous waste center at which to recycle it or call your local fire department for instructions on how to dispose of it.[3] Replace it with a model without this harmful ozone-depleting chemical.

Don’t buy aerosol products with chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). Although CFCs have been banned or reduced in many applications, the only way to be sure is to check the label on all your hairsprays, deodorants and household chemicals. Opt for pump spray products over pressurized cans, to further reduce your chance of buying CFCs.

Dispose of pre-1995 refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioning units properly. These devices use chlorofluorocarbons to function, so leaks release the chemical into the atmosphere.
Call your local utility company to see if there is a bounty program in your area that your appliance qualifies for.[4]
If not, contact your municipal department of public works to ask how to dispose of refrigerated appliances in your neighborhood.[5]

The only way to cope with this increasing menace is to put an end to the CFCs and other ozone depleting chemicals. We should
* limit private vehicle driving * use ecofriendly household cleaning products * avoid using pesticides * bam the use of dangerous nitrous oxide * develop stringent regulations for rocket launches
