THE OZONE HOLE

The Ozone is a layer of gases in the stratosphere. The ozone hole

is getting bigger because our

earth is getting older, but pollution is

speeding up this process.

This moving picture is showing where our atmosphere is

getting weaker. If you look at the graph it shows where it is

getting worse or better.

Here are some photographs of the ozone through the week of the 20th

and 26th of September. The red shows the strongest points and the purple shows the weakest. If you look at the web address, it is from

SUN RAYS

The ozone layer is very important to our lifestyle. The ozone layer causes the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Effect is when the ozone layer reflects

the sun’s rays and absorbs the sun’s rays. So, while our ozone is getting weaker and weaker our earth’s sun rays is not knowing whether to reflect or absorb, so our temperature might be 70 one day and 85 the next day.

What We Can Do If you do big project, DO NOT use

spray paint, it hurts our ozone.

DO NOT waste energy! If you leave a room, turn off the lights and in the end, when you add it all up, a lot of

energy will be saved!

Do you want to live like we are living now? Well if you do, protect it!

THEN DO NOT WASTE

ENERGY.And our ozone will be

okay.
