Put away your guilt. The 03 is not a problem as suggested. Mount Penatubo
(Sp) in the
Fillipines blew and released more flurocarbons into the atmosphere than
have been
manufactured in man's history of manufactured gasses.

Guess what? The atmosphere cleared after a few rain storms and the 03
layer recovered.
