  2. you can most definitely drive less or not drive at all if possibly and conserve energy at all times perhaps.

  3. The EPA has some tips for you. Easy to follow and implement.

    What Can I Do to Protect the Ozone Layer?

    Car Air Conditioner Tips

    Go only to service facilities with EPA-certified technicians

    Make sure refrigerants from your vehicle will be recovered and recycled during servicing

    Repair all leaks in the a/c system (not required by federal law, but helpful in protecting the ozone layer)

    Although not required by federal law, this is one of the single best ways to do your part to protect the ozone layer. About 20-30 million cars on the road today use CFC refrigerants in their air-conditioning (AC) systems. If leaky systems were repaired, it would prevent the release of millions of pounds of CFCs into the atmosphere each year.

    If your air conditioner needs major repairs, talk to your certified service professional about having it converted to use an alternative refrigerant.

    Home Appliance Tips

    Repair air conditioners

    Although not required by federal law, this step prevents ozone-depleting refrigerants from escaping. Make certain the refrigerant is recovered before servicing. See a fact sheet on this topic.

    If you purchase a new A/C system or heat pump, purchase one that uses non-ozone-depleting refrigerant. See a fact sheet on this topic.

    Remove the refrigerant from refrigerators, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers before disposing of them

    Removing the refrigerant before disposal of old refrigerators alone would prevent the release of about 4 million pounds of CFCs each year. The used refrigerant can be recycled and reused. Ask your local government or waste hauler if the refrigerant will be removed before the appliance is discarded.

    Make sure your service technician is EPA certified.

    Work with local officials

    Help start a refrigerant recovery and recycling program in your area if none exists. Not only will a responsible appliance disposal help to protect the ozone layer, but the recovered CFC-12 from appliances can be resold, helping to recoup a portion of the costs of the program.

    Report Violations

    If you suspect or witness unlawful releases of refrigerant or other improper service practices, you can file a report easily and anonymously by calling the Stratospheric Ozone Information Hotline at 1-800-296-1996. You can also obtain a complaint form online.

  4. The Montreal Protocol has been doing that quite well for the past 20 years.

    “The Montreal Protocol has been a resounding success,” said Richard Stolarski, a speaker at the symposium from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. “The effect can be seen in the leveling off of chlorine compounds in the atmosphere and the beginning of their decline.”

  5. I like this idea http://www.ecogeek.org/content/view/902/

  6. You can not conserve ozone layer. You can not even conserve your own hair layer after some time. Why worry about ozone?

  7. stop using refrigirator

  8. Electricity makes ozone
