Ozone layer will damage our life


In the article ” Climate Change” the writer discusses the fact that with damaged ozone layer, we will get lots of problems, such as skin cancer and worse weather. So all countries around the world should make rules to keep our environment clean. Also, the writer mentioned that the United States and Canada made a good protocol to rescue the ozone layer. But if people don’t follow this protocol the ozone layer will be damaged in 2050. And that will affect people, animals and plants. In 2009, most countries in the world will meet to discuss the global pollution and find some ways to solve these problems.

Did you hear your grandmother or grandfather talk about unusual environment problems? I don't think they met lots of people who suffered with medical diseases as skin cancer, people who were worried about changes in the weather every year, or their farm having no plants. That is what has happened to our life, because the ozone layer is being destroyed.

The last several years, lots of people have begun to suffer with different kinds of skin medical problems, especially with skin cancer, which is the hardest kind of problems. The researchers have found the biggest reason that makes people get skin cancer is when they are exposed to the sun when they swim or relax at the sea. So, they advise that if people want to enjoy themselves under the sun, they should choose a good time when the sun is not too hot and put some special lotion on their bodies to protect them. People should know how ultraviolet radiation would harm their skin.

Year after year, the weather is changing to the worst situation. When the ozone layer is starting to be destroyed, the temperature also starts to change. Most of the frozen areas such as Antarctica are losing their ice mountains because the weather has become hot there and the ice has melted. Also, a lot of cities around the world have been damaged because of hurricanes or tornados, or earthquakes. And the scientists think that if the ozone layer is damaged more of the earth will get hard changes and problems everywhere.

One of the hard problems that happen because the ozone layer is lost happens to the plants. A lot of farms are becoming poor because plants are dying. The scientists try to help these farms but they couldn’t. The plants need the sunshine, but the sun harms them. Plants are losing their elements, which make them a live and grow up. The scientists try to find different way to keep plants such as plants in a protected area but it is a very expensive way.

We have never thought that the soft ozone layer is important to save our earth. But now everyone realizes that, and all our countries’ governments educate us about what we would suffer with if we make the ozone layer damaged. We might get skin cancer, lots of hot and hard weather with lot of hurricanes, and we might lose the plants and be unable to find good vegetables. We should as people live on this world, and help our countries to protect the ozone layer by following their protection protocol.
