The Montreal Protocol brought along a very important turning point in world history. It’s signing meant CFCs and other harmful chemicals that build up in the atmosphere would no longer be used, allowing the hole in the ozone that had appeared to be closed. The ozone layer is so important to everyone’s health. Without the ozone layer protecting us from the sun’s rays, skin cancer would sky rocket.
The depletion of the ozone shows how consumption processes can negatively impact our inclusive well being if we are not aware of the environmental impact they may have in the future. In order to live sustainably, we must figure out ways to live our comfortable lifestyles with refrigerators and air conditioners without sending out harmful chemicals into the atmosphere.
