Today we gather to mourn the loss of an essential

component of your natural systems - the ozone layer.

For many years, this thin layer of gas in the upper
atmosphere has protected us from the harmful effects of
ultraviolet radiation, allowing life to flourish on your
surface.
Sadly, due to human activities such as the use of ozone-
depleting substances, the ozone layer has been slowly
depleted. This depletion has led to harmful
consequences such as an increase in skin cancer,
cataracts, and damage to crops and ecosystems.
We come before you today to acknowledge our
responsibility for this tragedy and vow to make amends
for the damage we have caused. We pledge to work
together to reduce our use of harmful chemicals, find
alternative solutions for industrial and consumer needs,
and take steps to protect and preserve the ozone layer
for future generations.
We are committed to being responsible stewards of
your natural systems and ensuring that they remain
intact for the benefit of all life on your surface. We
understand that our actions have consequences, and we
pledge to do better, to be better, and to work together
to protect and preserve your natural beauty and
systems.
Rest in peace, dear ozone layer. Your legacy will be one
of resilience, and we will honor your memory by
working tirelessly to ensure that future generations can
enjoy the same benefits that you provided us.
