#19 - Our Healing Ozone Layer

Hi Greensters,

☀️ Remember the panic about the ozone hole in the ’90s? Good news: the sky is stitching itself back together. A new WMO bulletin shows the ozone layer is thicker than it’s been in decades - shielding us from UV rays and proving global action works.

🥒 On your plate this week: crispy zucchini rings with a garlicky herbed dip that hit all the crunchy-creamy notes.

💡 Plus, a small eco-habit that swaps hidden waste for real savings.

Enjoy

🥗 The Green Meal

🥒 Zucchini may not get the spotlight like cauliflower or kale, but it’s a climate-friendly star. Low in water and carbon footprint, zucchinis thrive in many climates and grow fast - meaning less fertilizer and resources needed compared to meat-heavy dishes.

🍽️ By swapping in crispy zucchini rings instead of fried chicken, you cut emissions, save water, and still get that satisfying crunch. Paired with the herbed dip, it’s comfort food without the environmental cost.

♻️ Eco Tip

Awareness: 🚿 Washing clothes in hot water uses about 75% more energy than cold, most of it just heating the water.

Action: ❄️ Switch to cold washes! Modern detergents work just as well at lower temps, saving energy, extending fabric life, and cutting your carbon footprint — all while keeping your clothes clean and fresh.
