Week 2-Ozone
So hilarious talking to friends and family about ozone. My little sister didn't really know much. She just said she knew it was deteriorating. One of my best friends knew a little, said because it is deteriorating and allowing UV light, too much heat is creating a greenhouse effect and causing a lot of global warming. She didn't know there was a good and bad ozone, but it kind-of made sense to her. Another friend was amazing! He sounded like a scientist, and I didn't realize he had many friends who are scientists! He said that chlorophoric carbons help determine the ozone. He said that his understanding is a decreased ozone means increased cases of skin cancer, especially in Australia. He had also heard of the ozone being decreased around Argentina and commented on how he understood this meant that too much heat is being trapped, therefore causing too many ice caps to be melted. He didn't realize the burning of coal and gasoline was a form of "bad" ozone. Well, that was info for everyone;)
