However, considering that there is no significant bio effect at present (or in the near future) the ban on ozone would be more economically efficient if: 1. Existing CFC stocks could be released into the atmosphere, rather than collected and incinerated (at great expense to the community). 2. Industry in developing countries, particularly if they are foreign funded, be banned from using CFCs, as in developed countries. My complaint is that not that we should not have responded to ozone depletion, but that we apparently over-responded in panic, and failed to implement a solution in an economically efficient manner. ...Greig
