Answer 1

An Ozone layer is important to protect the earth from the harmful U.V rays of the sun.Saving the Ozone is of prime importance for each one of us to make the Earth a better place to live in for our next generation as well as for us too. Thus to save it one must plant more trees and must avoid air pollution.Also the use of harful substance like CFC must be avoided.

Answer 4

It will take the entire world to pull together to try and save it. The world won't last forever anyways. Well, my personal beliefs :P but yeah, even barbecueing with charcol briquette's are actually bad for the ozone. You'd have to switch to old fashion logs or maybe propane *not sure about propane*.  Charcol actually has carbonminoxide in it.  I would die without my bbq though lol..

Answer 7

When a health issue involves the health of the planet, people often feel there is little they can do to change the course of events. The depletion of the earth is protective ozone layer is one of these mega-issues. While most of the measures needed to safeguard the ozone layer involve nations and industries, there are significant steps you can take - as an individual consumer and as a member of a society.

There's good and bad ozone, depending on where it is, though both are chemically identical-a gas formed when three atoms of oxygen, rather than the normal two, bind together. The ozone found at ground level, a by-product of car and factory pollution, is one of the more dangerous components of smog. But in the earth's stratosphere, about 10 to 25 miles above us, ozone functions as a natural screen against the sun's most damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. Unfortunately, the ozone that pollutes our air cannot reach the stratosphere's ozone layer.

Seven steps

The U.S. remains the biggest producer and consumer of CFCs. By following these steps, you can help reduce the American contribution to the destruction of the ozone layer.

* Have your car's air conditioner carefully serviced. Auto air conditioners are the single largest source of CFC emissions in the U.S. Don't simply refill your leaky air conditioner; if you don't have the leak fixed, the CFCs you leak will end up in the air. Go to a service station equipped to recycle the refrigerant (this costs an additional $35 to $55); otherwise, the CFCs will be vented into the atmosphere. In Los Angeles, an ordinance requiring service stations to recycle CFCs is expected to go into effect by January 1, 1990; it will also ban the sale of small cans of refrigerant, which allow people to 'top-off' their car air conditioners instead of repairing leaks. Car air conditioners using less harmful refrigerants are expected to be available in the mi-1990s. (Home air conditioners contain coolants that are far less ozone depleting.)

* Don't use foam plastic insulation in your home, unless it is made with ozone safe agents. Or use fiberglass,

gypsum, fiberboard, or cellulose insulation. * Don't buy a halon fire extinguisher for home use. * Check labels on aerosol cans. VCR-head cleaners, boat horns, spray confetti, photo negative cleaners, and drain plungers are still allowed to contain CFC's but such labeling isn't required.

* When buying a refrigerator, choose an energy efficient model: it may contain as little as half the CFC's. Thus when the fridge wears out and you dump it, less CFCs will be released. All refrigerators sold in the U.S. contain CFCs. To keep your fridge in the best working order, clean the coils regularly; that way it may last until CFC-free models are developed, or at least until recycling programs for CFCs are available. * If you feel strongly, write to your Senator and Representative and to President Bush, urging them to protect the ozone layer by tightening regulations on CFCs and halons, speeding up their elimination, mandating warning labels on products containing them, and pressing other nations to take such steps. Substitutes for CFCs may add to the cost of many products, be less efficient,, and have other drawbacks, at least at first. This may be hard to accept, especially since CFC emissions are invisible, and most of the damage they cause may not be evident for decade. But the steps we take now to protect the ozone layer will benefit our grandchildren.

Answer 8

dont perfume yourself with deodorants, so called expensive sprays n perfumes.

these sprays cost us a good amount of money, but do we pay for the depletion of ozone?

think.

Answer 9

Walk 2 da shops.

Answer 10

reduce hairspray, spray cologne, save energy at your home or work place...:-)

Answer 11

I am using cycle two wheeler as my transport even though I can maintain a car. Like that i am saving ozone

Answer 12

well to protect the ozone i generally try to avoid usage of vehicels and gadgets which lead to emmision of gases like carbon-dioxide. i try to avoid usage of vehicles and walk or cycle my way to my destination

Answer 13

well, i don't use any kind of perfume or spray.

even if i have to use any mosquito repellent or any such thing, i'll go for the herbal variety.

and i don't like burning fire-crackers.

Answer 14

prevent usage of CFCs from your level and spread its awareness around you, too.... it will, someday, be very very successful

Answer 15

There are many ways to help stop global warming. You can decrease your energy use by installing solar panels, using less fuel by walking or riding, (if that's not possible get an energy efficient car!) but the government has a special booklet about it i think it is for free. go onto their website and look it up. I hope u take some of my advice. not for my benefit, but the planet's.

Answer 16

plant a lot of trees in ur free time also encourage ur friends to do so also use less water and eat less outside food to lessen the waste as garbage is another increasing problem on earth,

please save water, and our earth too

Answer 17

plant a tree or two every year, put off ur light when not being used, imbibe good waste mgt habit, reduce emissions, be more environmentally friendly
