'The love letter'         “You planned the fire in                                the Amazon       and dug the earth up so deep,          that it will never grow now. The little birds know no place to fly back to at dawn now. You've been on a run clearing the           woods for  individual lust, In your thirst for an urban world, a better world,  You are breaking the roots of the ground that will help your glass statues stand still. There is time now. Turn around. You ignited the fire in Australia, the kangaroo’s abode, Year after year, Well, if you had stopped the reckless industrialization,  while you could, You wouldn't have your hands all laced with crimson, And your future a flimsy, fight and survive situation.          You've left so many innocent               animals to choke and die, No mercy in heart, No farcast foresight for mankind or anyone.

  Every year the World Ozone Day is celebrated on 16th September with a different theme. This year, the theme was the celebration of 35 years of global ozone layer protection. Like so many other environmental issues, the depletion of ozone layer has also been a major concern since the 1980s. Through my blog this time, I will be revealing the past, the present and the future of the ozone layer without which there shall be no life on Earth. (Don't worry I am no fortune teller, but what I am going to be presenting is merely the scientific data, which I hope will help to encourage people to save our precious Earth and its inhabitants.) So let's begin! Q1. What is the ozone layer? It is a particular region in the layers of atmosphere of the Earth. It absorbs 97 to 99% of the sun's ultraviolet radiation, which otherwise would potentially damage the exposed life forms near the surface of the earth. Q2. What happened? [The Past] In the 1980s, scientists began to realize that
