I always hear that NZ has a great deal of ozone depletion but I haven’t really bothered to look at the reason why. My languid mind just hurriedly hypothesized that the world’s pollution resulted it. Been a bit passive about this matter until this morning when I read the news:
Despicably, this can cause:
Correct if I’m wrong, I think my hypothesis is apparently accepted at 0.05 alpha hehe (I dread statistics). I only have very limited knowledge of chemistry but I can see some carbon chuchu that must have initiated this. My low-voltage brainpower cannot reliably decipher the mind-boggling jargons that detailed the phenomenon so read here for more info if you’re keen about it. If you happen to translate those lingoes into a layman’s term, please do share it. I certainly need a brilliant mind like yours to tell me WHY that “hole” happens here when I know for sure that NZ is an environment buff: our garbage won’t be picked up if it’s not properly segregated in the color-coded bins; cars should pass a strict emission test every 6 months; you can also see the very obvious green surrounding and smell the clean air – I should know how pure the air is because I used to have upper respiratory problems (triggered by fumes and dust in Pinas) that didn’t bother me since I arrived here (TG). And Antartica? No person even lives there! Don’t tell me the penguins are the culprits. Baloney!
For crying out loud! WHYYYYY isn’t the hole directly located over the regions that emit most of the smog like Peru, Russia or China (based on National Geographic’s 10 Most Polluted Places). This is like paying for someone else’s debt! It’s soooo unfair
I should rant and rave!!! 
The scenic beauty of NZ is indubitable and whatta shame if we can’t fully enjoy the outdoors because that o-hole inevitably concerns us too. Haaayyyy sunscreen and dark sunglasses galore nalang mi ani but what about the other life-forms here???
Grrrrrr…**at wits’ end**
"Ozone hole biggest on record this year"
Instantaneously, it ignited my curiosity…BIGGEST hole as in??? I googled about the matter at once! I’ve learned that ozone hole is actually a seasonal incident that occurs in the earth's atmosphere above Antarctica. And since it's practically our neighbor, NZ is also affected. This is how our planet looks like on September to December (spring to early summer): Despicably, this can cause:
- Skin cancer
- Eye damage such as cataracts
- Immune system damage
- Reduction in phytoplankton in the oceans that forms the basis of all marine food chains including those in Antarctica.
- Damage to the DNA in various life-forms
