Are you certain recycling aluminium pollutes more than mining new ore?  
Recycling previously mined ore uses a third of the electricity, as the 
separation of Al from the ore uses a shitload of juice.  Using less 
fossil-fuel driven electricity would be less polluting...

Also, UV B radiation levels have been steadily increasing... The CFC-ozone 
reaction may have scientific merit; what remains is to draw the 
colleration *scientifically* with more studies.  Until then it is always 
wise to wait until we're sure.
