More Ozone Depletion!

We talked, last month about the layers of the atmosphere and the different composition of each layer and how each level works to protect us here on earth.  The Ozone layer (found in the Stratosphere) is a hard worker, blocking much of the sun's harmful UV radiation.  Without the Ozone layer we would see a lot more damaged skin and even more cases of skin cancer!

Check out this article "Ozone Destroying Chemical Making Comeback" from the Globe and Mail!  What are the consequences of a thinning Ozone layer?  How will this affect us in Vancouver or elsewhere in Canada?
