Save the ozone from vanishing…it’s vital to our health & safety!
Fast forward 15 years into the future….
It’s early morning and you’re getting ready for the day. As you eat breakfast, you’re listening to the weather report. The temperature is very high, smog levels are extremely high and the ozone layer is thinner now than ever. Due to the report you have to wear daily a filter mask to protect your lungs from the smog and apply even more sun screen. You don’t want to be like your friend who was recently diagnosed with melanoma(skin cancer). The sad thing is that you have to wear a mask and sun screen everyday and check the report to ensure that you stay safe and healthy.
Back to the present…..
What if the situation really gets this bad? What are you going to do to help preserve the ozone layer?

CONCLUSION
The atmosphere is an important protective shield between our Earth’s surface and the sun. The ozone layer is very important in that it minimizes the ultra violet radiation that reaches the earth’s surface. We as humans all need to do our part in preventing the destruction of the ozone so that we can stay protected for many years to come.
