• Avoid Aerosols – In some parts of the world, aerosols are still used in spray cans.  These cans contain CFCs, which are deadly for the ozone layer.
• Check Your Car's Air Conditioner – If you can avoid buying an air conditioning system with your car, that's great.  Otherwise, make sure that you keep your system checked so that coolant doesn't leak.
• Don't Buy Polystyrene – Polystyrene foam products have very destructive CFCs in them.  Avoid purchasing these so that plastic makers will no longer produce them.
• Insulate Your Home Properly – When buying insulation materials for your home, be sure to purchase an insulator that does not use CFCs.
• Write to the Government – Tell your community officials and local government that CFCs are a major concern and that when refrigerators are disposed of, CFCs must not be let into the atmosphere.
