RECALCULANDO NUESTRAS VIDAS
DURANTE COVID-19
Recientemente, los científicos observaron que el agujero
masivo en la capa de ozono que se desarrolló desde la
aceleración de la contaminación que bombeamos a la
atmósfera se ha reparado. En el peor de los casos, era
3 veces el tamaño de Groenlandia. Los factores que
contribuyen a esta mejora incluyen temperaturas árticas
más bajas, un fuerte vórtice polar y, más recientemente,
la gran reducción de contaminantes que hemos deposita-
do en la atmósfera mientras hemos impulsado menos y la
producción mundial se ha reducido drásticamente.
He hablado con algunas familias con niños y adolescen-
tes que a veces han luchado para apoyarse mutuamente
durante estas órdenes de quedarse en casa. Antes de la
pandemia de Covid-19, se vieron acosados con apoyar
a sus hijos en muchas actividades como baile, gimnasia y
eventos deportivos. Esto valió la pena para la vida de
sus hijos, pero estas familias están reconsiderando que
