Mario and the Hole in the Sky: How a Chemist Saved Our Planet

The Ozone Hero: Saving the Planet from Environmental Disaster is a gripping tale of courage, determination, and scientific ingenuity.

Mexican-born chemist Dr.

Mario Molina's heroic efforts to warn the world about the dangers of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and their devastating impact on the ozone layer are nothing short of inspiring.

As a young man in California, Molina discovered that CFCs were tearing a hole in the earth's protective ozone layer, threatening catastrophic consequences for all life on Earth.
