How does the CFC work?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and halons destroy the earth’s protective ozone layer, which shields the earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) rays generated from the sun. CFCs and HCFCs also warm the lower atmosphere of the earth, changing global climate.

Are CFCs still used?

Production of CFCs ceased in 1995. HCFC production will cease in 2020 (HCFC-22) or 2030 (HCFC-123).

Don’t buy equipment that uses CFC refrigerants.

Does CFC take a percentage?

The percentage that each campaign deducts has always varied widely. For example, the DC CFC’s cost percentage was 9.5% in 2015, not 13%. If a charity gets all or most of its donations from a lower cost campaign like DC’s, the percentage deducted from its checks will be lower.
