Ozone Disappearing
Lets take care of the earth and it will take care of us
ozone depleting
The ozone is thinning, because we are putting harsh chemicals into the air. The ozone is crucial part to are atmosphere to keep us safe, containing chemicals that protects us.
car pollution
cars contribute to the ozone disappearing, so if people drive less the ozone will get better. by biking or walking, and you can also turn off lights when you are not using it to save energy.
melting ice
with less ozone to block rays of light it is warmer so ice in the antarctic melts affecting arctic animals habitat
aerosols
the use of aerosols is a chemical giving out harmful chemicals tot he ozone, so use of aerosols should be limited
save the ozone
health affects
Skin cancer and other skin disorders, Cataracts and other eye damage can occur if the ozone is not thick enough to make the rays less harmful. UVB rays can lead to many skin problems like a very dangerous one Melanoma.
world helping
Country's around the world have stopped using ozone depleting chemicals , if more and more countries do this the ozone can become healthier. We now have to help other country's get on board and start saving the ozone before it is to late.
ecosystem
the change in the amount of rays hitting the earth are changing the way plants are living and growing. this is linked to them dying out and effecting the entire food chain.
protect your eyes from the rays we are making more harmfull
get the world helping
save nature and keep it looking like it should
what you can do
the simple changes you can do in life can help
- walk/bike places
- turn off lights when not using
- don't use aerosols
- recycle
- inform others about what they can do
