    Sadly I can't see them actually taking any steps to reduce it, commercial need and corporate greed will always win out :(

    It makes me feel despair quite frankly. It’s quite obvious to me that some people just don’t mind trashing the planet.

    Some people would have you believe that space exploration is to save the human race.
    I, personally, disagree with space exploration and not from an ozone point of view.  I don`t understand why we don`t plough the billions spent sending people to find another planet to trash into fixing the planet we have now.
