How to Reduce Ozone Depletion

 Decreasing CFC usage


- Buy aerosol product that not use HCFCs or CFCs as propellants
- Limit private vehicle driving. Use public transport, cycling, walking or car
pooling
- Conduct regular inspection and maintenance of air-conditioning and refrigeration
appliances to prevent and minimize refrigerant leakage.
- Buy refrigerators that do not contain HCFC as refrigerants
- Use eco-friendly natural cleaning product. Household cleaning agents contain a
lot of toxins. These chemicals interfere with the ozone layer.

controls on the import and export of these substances through registration and
licensing provisions.
