Terminology
Global warming

A phenomenon in which an increase in greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons, causes the Earth to become warmer and average temperatures to rise worldwide.

Terminology
Sustainable society

As an alternative to a society based on mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal, in a sustainable society adverse impact on the natural world and the environment as a whole would be minimized through measures designed to reduce the volume of waste produced by giving top priority to the reuse and recycling of discarded items.

Terminology
Substances that damage the ozone layer

The layer of ozone (O3) within the stratosphere provides protection to living things on Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ultraviolet radiation can damage the cells of living creatures and trigger mutations in their genes. It has also been identified as a cause of skin cancer in humans. Chlorofluorocarbons damage the Earth’s ozone layer and have caused it to thin out to the point that an “ozone hole” has appeared above the South Pole.
