Dear Editor, IT is important for us to be con cerned about the environment.

Each year, the ozone layer be comes thinner due to the use of chlorofluorocarbons.

Chlorofluorocarbon, also known as freon, is used in air-condition ers and refrigerators and the sub stance is also widely used in elec tronic items in factories.

Whenever these machines are switched on, we inadvertently pollute Mother Nature.

The ozone layer is important because it absorbs ultraviolet ra diation from the sun.

Without it, humans will be ex posed to deadly diseases.

Let’s keep the Earth pollu tion-free.

Fatiha

Kuala Lumpur
