Industrialization has provided us with material comfort and modern conveniences. Electrical appliances and efficient gadgets ease our daily chores. Yet, there is a heavy price tag attached to this convenience. Large-scale industrialization is killing the world.

Today, there is a very strong emphasis on the halt of CFC usage. CFCs, otherwise known as chloro-fluorocarbons, are ozone-depleting chemicals. They practically burn a hole in the earth's atmosphere and we, on earth, suffer from the strong radiation emitted by the sun's rays. Household items/appliances like refrigerators, aerosol cans, air conditioners and styrofoam containers contain ozone-depleting chemicals.

The hole in the sky allows harmful radiation to reach the earth. As a result, the temperature on earth will rise. This is alarming because polar ice-caps will melt in the heat. Ocean levels will rise and, islands will gradually be flooded. More people will suffer from cancer if the ozone layer continues to disappear.

This is why governments worldwide are taking such strong measures against the manufacture and continued use of CFCs. We, too, should help save the world today.
