Despite existing regulation of ODS, there continues to be severe ozone depletion and maximum stratospheric levels of chlorine and bromine are predicted to occur only during the next decade. Without further measures the ozone hole will continue to exist beyond 2050. However, the success of the Montreal Protocol has already been observed in terms of changes in the concentrations of man-made chlorine-containing chemicals in the troposphere (i.e. the rates of release of ODS to the atmosphere have been reduced). Additional measures are currently being proposed by the European Commission to accelerate the phase out of various ODS and thereby to provide much-needed additional protection for the ozone layer.

Five Action Steps to Cut Natural Gas Use

You can take some steps to reduce the amount of gas you're using. Here are some suggestions.
Turn down your thermostat to 20 degrees. For every degree you lower your heat in the 16-degree to 21-degree range, you'll save up to 5 percent on heating costs. Wear warm clothing like a sweater and set your thermostat to 20 degrees or lower during the day and evening, health permitting. Set the thermostat back to 13 degrees or off at night or when leaving home for an extended time saving 5-20 percent of your heating costs (heat pumps should only be set back two degrees to prevent unneeded use of backup strip heating).
