I can help reduce the thinning of the ozone layer by not using the CFC s, instead of riding in a vehicle, I will just prefer to walk to reduce the use of gasoline, by planting more trees to prevent us from pollution and floods, by recycling, reusing things which can be worthwhile. By conserving energy, Pollution and waste should not be put into the enviroment faster than the environment can degrade and recycle them or render them harmless. </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="name"> ????? </td> <td class="text"> Give me answers about cfcs!! </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="name"> Kum min </td> <td class="text"> We use less heating. </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="name"> Briannaa </td> <td class="text"> Nothing.

This chlorine reacts & destroys ozone molecules hence removing ozone from the ozone layer causing it to become thinner which in turn lets more UV rays in. Upon using CFC free products we can halp prevent this from happening!!!!!!!!!!!!:) </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="name"> Hatti, becky </td> <td class="text"> We need to help out in the community! </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="name"> Hatti, becky </td> <td class="text"> use less CFCs and be more caring to the environment:) </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="name"> Audas ashwin </td> <td class="text"> People should use public transportation than cars.
