In this world of rapid change, it's extremely difficult for a company to stay ahead of
             the game even using all the resources available to them. So, it's difficult to imagine
             the problems they would run into when a group of environmentalists decide to boycott a
             substance which is the foundation of their company. These chemicals, although very
             useful, cause consequences that need to be dealt with now in order to prevent further
             The chemicals in question are numerous, but the two gaining the most attention are
             chloroflurocarbons (CFC's) and carbon tetrachloride. CFC's have a wide range of uses,
             but are popularly used in aerosol propellants and air conditioning for homes and cars
             (Singer and Crandall npg). Carbon tetrachloride is one of the major components in making
             their damage is similar. When they inter the outer atmosphere,
             They react with ozone chemicals to release chlorine and bromine that in turn deteriorate
             the ozone and form "thinning" or "holes." This is catastrophic because they are bonded
             very strongly together and cannot be broken down by water. This means they travel into
             the atmosphere virtually unharmed by rain or decomposition (Goldfarb 282).
             The reason these are causing such a commotion is the damage they cause to living things
             on Earth. When the ozone depletes, it causes more ultraviolet (UV) rays to hit the
             Earth's surface than are healthy (Singer and Crandall npg). UV rays affect the DNA of
             every living cell, altering the protein make-up of that cell (Goldfarb 288). Most
             importantly it affects "microscopic photoplankton" which rest at the bottom of the food
             chain, placing us in extreme danger (Goldfarb 288). Henry Lee, leading researcher on
             ozone depletion for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), says that UV rays will only have a slight effect
             on oceans, though. He says the problem lies on the fact that 70 percent of the Earth's
