Good News for the Environment

Since I was told that my blog is too pessimistic, I wanted to include some good news.

The latest news indicates the Ozone hole is healing (http://news.com.com/2300-11395_3-6111282-1.html)

It really wasn't all that long ago that it came to light the ozone layer was depleting, and at a significant rate. The Montreal Protocol was the international effort to address this issue. Some (including someone I knew back in college) studied the Montreal Protocol and dismissed it, being very pessimistic about potential loopholes and issues of international agreement.

Yet, the news suggests that we clearly have made progress. And that is a reason to be thankful and celebrate.
