The White House has been spewing some pretty foul policy lately. It can be difficult to identify something hopeful about our struggling planet. Maybe the fact that the hole in the ozone layer is actually shrinking! This week on Sea Change Radio, we check in with Durwood Zaelke, one of the original crafters of the Montreal Protocol 30 years ago, the key piece of legislation that led to the ozone‘s current state of healing. Speaking to us from Paris, Zaelke relays how the international community views the current state of affairs in the US, talks about progress being made around the globe to eliminate pollutants, and details cooperative international efforts to mitigate climate change.
