Du Pont is the largest producer of ozone destroying CFC's in the world. Greenpeace demands a ban on the production of CFC's. NASA enforces this demand by their research results during the last winter. They observed a demolition of the ozone layer above the Northern Hemisphere of 10 to 20%. NASA warns that we can expect an even higher breakdown in the near future.
