【英语时差8,16】创造臭氧层-上

 We’re always hearing that the ozone¹ layer is being depleted², and how bad this is because we need it to protect us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. But I’ve been thinking, and there has to be a more effective way to restore the ozone layer than by sitting around not releasing any more harmful chemicals into the air so the ozone has a chance to repair itself. Ok, like what? Well,how hard could it be to make more ozon? We must have plenty of raw material. After all the ozone molecule³ contains three oxygen atoms–and the oxygen molecules⁴ we breathe contain two oxygen atoms, so can’t we just use that oxygen to produce a bunch of ozone ourselves and stick it back up in the atmosphere?
