How old each of us will be when the ozone layer is whole again is beside the point. The fact is that what we have fucked up through lack of understanding or neglect of the consequences of our action is reversible. It's unfortunate that public policy rather than the goodwill of those who can make a difference is what can stop the damage we're doing, but either way it's what we do that's causing the problem and therefore it's up to us to fix it. What was a childhood horror is now a fading memory because we took the initiative to fix the damage we caused and it's time to fix the damage we're causing now.
