For years scientists have been carrying out research into the world of the unknown. One of the most fascinating categories of psy­chic phenomena is that of "precognition"; the ability to see future events. Terms, such as "prophecies", "auguries" and "miracles", famil­iar in ancient times, have been replaced by the scientific, more prosaic - sounding term "extrasensory perception" (ESP). This phenomenon Is also commonly known as "the sixth sense", enabling a person who possesses it to know something in advance of its happening, an ex­perience otherwise unknown by those who possess the ordinary five known senses of hearing, sight, touch, taste and smell. Precognition may occur in the form of a dream or in a walking state. Many scien­tists have devoted their careers to studying ESP phenomena. They de­scribe their research field as the science of "parapsychology", derived from the world "paranormal", which ESP phenomena are said to be because they seem to be beyond the limits of our present understanding.

Rainforests disappear daily. Endangered species are hunted for their pelts. Dolphins drown in tuna nets. Domestic and industrial waste pollutes the seas. The problem with the damage being done to the ozone layer is that it is more difficult to believe in. It has no verac­ity or immediacy for the majority of the public because they can't see it. The man in the street does not feel that it is his problem.

The ozone layer is what protects all life on earth from the harmful effects of the sun's ultra violet rays. During the last fifty years or so it has been subjected to a barrage of man-made chemicals, chiefly chlorofluoro carbons or, as they are more familiarly known as CFCs. These gases and their agents are ubiquitous in our society.

Where would we be without factories, refrigerators-domestic and industrial, air-conditioning apparatus, solvents, and last, but defi­nitely not least, aerosol sprays?
