2. The Ozone is a layer of gases in the stratosphere. The ozone hole is getting bigger because our earth is getting older, but pollution is speeding up this process. http:// www.theozonehole.com This moving picture is showing where our atmosphere is getting weaker. If you look at the graph it shows where it is getting worse or better.

3. Here are some photographs of the ozone through the week of the 20 th and 26 th of September. The red shows the strongest points and the purple shows the weakest. If you look at the web address, it is from NASA, so you know it is reliable source. http://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov 09/20 09/21 09/22 09/23 09/24 09/25 09/26

4. The ozone layer is very important to our lifestyle. The ozone layer causes the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Effect is when the ozone layer reflects the sun’s rays and absorbs the sun’s rays. So, while our ozone is getting weaker and weaker our earth’s sun rays is not knowing whether to reflect or absorb, so our temperature might be 70 one day and 85 the next day. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/skytellers/seasons/about.shtml This picture is showing Ansley in winter clothing and Emma in summer clothing.(I took these picture the same day) AnsleyEmma

5. What We Can Do  If you do big project, DO NOT use spray paint, it hurts our ozone.  DO NOT waste energy! If you leave a room, turn off the lights and in the end, when you add it all up, a lot of energy will be saved!  Do you want to live like we are living now? Well if you do, protect it!
