Mario Molina, the 1995 Nobel Prize Awardee in Chemistry

"If we work together we all end up having a better world."

Mario Molina, who was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for demonstrating that CFC gases were damaging the ozone layer, has passed away aged 77.

After showing the damage that CFCs cause, Molina helped develop the Montreal Protocol which banned their use worldwide. Today, thanks to his work, we have managed to reverse this depletion and the ozone layer is recovering.

Molina was passionate about working together to find solutions to better look after our Earth: "We realised, "If it is not us then who? If it is not now, when?"

Grateful thanks to
