Have you ever heard of the ozone layer? It\u2019s part of Earth\u2019s atmosphere, and it has a REALLY important job to do. It\u2019s what protects us from the sun\u2019s radiation. Radiation can cause sunburns and other health issues in people. It makes plants grow slowly and causes a lot of problems for marine life. We need to keep our ozone layer healthy so we can stay healthy, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Troubling Discovery<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

A long time ago (in the 1980s), scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer. It was caused by greenhouse gases called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Leaders around the world got together to come up with a solution. They all agreed to stop using CFCs. Since then, something amazing has happened. The hole in the ozone layer has been shrinking! It\u2019s on track to completely close by 2070. Amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Your Part!<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
