SPF 30+
I have my doubts about going out in the summer without a hat and “sunnies” this year, but NASA’s telling me the ozone hole’s getting smaller. Well, it’s not getting bigger at the same rate, anyway. While the reduction in the use of CFCs is being credited, scientists are also indicating that the rise of greenhouse gases may also be acting to restore the ozone layer. So it’s getting hotter and less breathable, but we’re better protected from UV rays? That’s not a viable trade-off to me. Maybe if more people signed up with Skyfish and signed the recognition of responsibility, we’d get some action around here. Maybe a few more First World nations could sign the Kyoto Accords, too.
