Water Crisis & Solutions - RACE presentationraceforgreen
This document discusses India's water crisis and potential solutions. It outlines that water scarcity and pollution problems are exacerbated by increased population, consumption, mismanagement, and climate change impacts. Traditional water management practices like rainwater harvesting that were used in ancient civilizations are proposed as sustainable solutions along with assigning economic value to water, community-scale storage projects, reducing pollution, and public participation in management.

RACE reading material series - Ozone depletionraceforgreen
The 1987 Montreal Protocol has been very effective in resolving the Ozone layer Depletion. In the 1970s, scientists discovered that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were destroying the ozone layer. This was causing a drastic thinning of the ozone layer over Antarctica known as the "ozone hole." In response, the 1987 Montreal Protocol established regulations to phase out ozone-depleting substances on a global scale. Since its implementation, research shows the ozone layer is beginning to recover and the effects of depletion have been mitigated by the Montreal Protocol.
