We Can't Take for Granted the Continued Success of the Montreal Protocol
- "The early signs that the atmosphere is healing demonstrate that the Montreal Protocol is working. But the delayed recovery is a warning that we cannot take the ozone layer for granted and must maintain and accelerate our efforts to phase out harmful chemicals." - quote from Achim Steiner, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The upper ozone layer in our atmosphere protects us from dangerous solar radiation. Quote appeared in this ENN article.
