Kids these days don't even know about the hole in the ozone later.
It's kinda our last big environmental win.
There's been some conservation wins that I know of. Okaloosa Darter fish came off of endangered status, and eventually off of threatened The Red Cockaded Woodpecker was elevated from endangered to threatened a few years ago.
Controlled burns in the US long leaf pine forests have also lead to a return of the quail population.
Just trying to sprinkle a little good news out there.
The thing is it kinda isn't. The ozone layer still needs about 20 years to get back to 1960 levels and the number of problematic states for this increasing again
Tbf, its not even yet a win technically.
TCO is expected to return to 1980 values around 2066 in the Antarctic, around 2045 in the Arctic, and around 2040 for the near-global average (60°N-60°S). - Source
Like most people would change anything about their lifestyle for the common good... It just went out of style.
Sadly, you can't get the proper hold without CFCs...
It lifts and separates.
If only we could get industrial manufacturing and energy production regulated to evolve in the same way that personal care is.
