Today is #OzoneDay. Let's remind ourselves what that means.
In the 1980s, research revealed a huge hole in the ozone layer protecting our planet.
Based on that data, countries universally ratified the Montreal Protocol in 1989 to address the issue.
Subsequently, global use of the substances causing the damage was reduced by 99%. The ozone layer is now on track to completely recover.
Science informed political action which led to global cooperation to fix a global problem.
IT IS POSSIBLE. 🌍💚

Fixing the hole in the ozone layer causes autism.
True story...

Never happen again with the spoiled brat oligarchy pulling all the strings.
Can't they grow the f up already?
Holy crap they love to waste everything away. @greenpeace
@greenpeace We should also have a day to celebrate when tetra-ethyl lead was phased out of gasoline: https://archive.bierfaristo.com/posts/2018/the-long-arc/
@greenpeace But, but, but will no one think of the poor, poor CEOs of those CFC-producing companies whose products were outlawed and who thus couldn't afford a second golden yacht! Truly the greatest victims of the ozone story.
@greenpeace this should be taught in schools

Yes, but such action didn’t put at risk the wealth of a significant number of very powerful people.
