Current estimations has the Ozone hole healing in approximately 50 years. This year's record hole notwithstanding, it has been shrinking for the last 5-10 years due to the reduction of ozone-depleting chemicals in industry and household use - probably the greatest environmental success of the last couple of decades. This year's record hole is attributed to unusually cold temperatures above Antartica this year (yay, climate change!).
But we must not rest on our laurels - we should go out there and lobby like we did in the '80s and early '90s. We must build awareness of the issues of greenhouse gases and stop purchasing products that wreck the environment. The CFC issue is the perfect example - it's happened before so we can fight and win this thing again!
