Materials and Why
The materials needed to build our base will be: Metal anchors, steel and wooden beams, nine layers of aluminum, wood, woolen felt, insulation layers and Kraft paper. This allows minimal energy loss, it also makes it air and water tight. Our base also runs on green energy powered by solar panels allowing no emissions. Our base communicates with Australia by satellite dishes installed on top of the base to report new findings/ discoveries. In an addition, fuel pods are stored in the vehicle bay located to the right of the main entrance for the easiest access.
Many scientists are now calling for the discontinuing of all CFC's as this will stop the growth of the hole. They are calling for all people to stop, look at themselves and see if they overuse CFC's in their life. If we stop using CFC's the growth will stop and, even if we can't fix the hole we can stop it.
The cause of the Ozone Layer's
Will Our Base be Easily Constructed
Yes, Our base was pre-assembled on the main land (most likely to be in TAS) and shipped in cargo containers at the end of the winter months for easy construction at the base site.
depletion is what scientists call CFC's. A.K.A- Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons.
These gases are used in many everyday items like air conditioners, refrigerators and fire extinguishers because it does not catch fire. Most countries have stopped the use of any other CFC's but many scientists believe that all CFC's should be stopped for the sake of humanity.

Our Base
Every year, during spring, a hole grows in our Ozone Layer over the continent of Antarctica. A much smaller also develops over the North Pole. This hole is expanding each year and will eventually diminish the Ozone Layer entirely.
Are These Materials The Best To Use
Yes, all these materials have been hand picked for these extreme conditions of Antarctica as they provide warmth, safety and the wildlife that strives in Antarctica. These materials have also been tested and reinforced for additional protection.
What is the Ozone Layer?
The Earth is wrapped in a blanket of air called the 'atmosphere', which is made up of several layers. About 19-30 kilometres above the Earth is a layer of gas called ozone, which is a form of oxygen. Ozone is produced naturally in the atmosphere. The Ozone Layer is made up of said ozone. Without this layer of protection, too many of the suns ultra-violet rays would reach the crust of Earth and humans would not survive.

Food
Our base's Kitchen, lounge, and dining area are specifically placed on the north and west side of the building to enhance the northerly sun to absorb the natural lighting within the building. The sleeping quarters are located in a separate pod for no disturbance due to the 24 hour work schedule. In our bases water system, water is purified and re-used for the showers, the toilets, and washing machine. Excess water is thoroughly purified before final disposal in a safe location nearby. Each station has its own waste manager which over sees the rubbish separation. Rubbish is sorted regularly for incineration on station, or returns to Australia for disposal or recycling. It is your responsibility to sort your own waste.
The most important personnel on site of the antarctic base is the chef. The chef caters for the crews food/ eating habits and uses fresh fruits and vegetables for the first 8 months of the year. The food quantities are based on a how much food each person consumes on average in one year, approximately 780 kilos of food as well as about 380 liters of liquids such as juices, soft drink, oils and sauces. A menu is produced for a 12 month eating plan at the base which enables fresh food (eggs, meat, fruits, vegetables) to last up to 8 months of the year. After this period frozen and canned food is introduced. Our base camp has an emergency food bunker in case of any damage caused to main supply such as: fire, leaks, major weather conditions, internal power failures.
Medical:
All stations are equipped with small a comprehensive medical suite which are necessary.Medical facilities include a consulting and examination room, a small operating theatre and dental suite, a well stocked pharmacy and small diagnostic laboratory.
Technology:
There are numerous computers at each station. Some are official computers owned by various organizations and others are personal computers owned by individuals. They are used are: Running scientific experiments, Administrative use, eg documents or email, Network administration; eg domain controllers or file servers, File transfer, Personal use, eg email, games and web browsing.
General Store:
Each Antarctic base has a general store were crew members can purchase toiletries and other small luxuries.
Scientists say that the hole over Antarctica started around 1979 and started to get thin around the 1980's.
Entertainment/ Downtime
All stations have wireless internet access, an extensive library (including eBooks), a cinema and a wide selection of music and movies.
Stations have a small spa and sauna, a gymnasium, billiards, table tennis, mini golf, volley ball, rock climbing, board games and darts. There is also a small music room for performances and regular events. Some outdoor activities include bikes and cross country skis, and a small ski loop. It is expected that anyone using the equipment cares for it as if it were their own.
This is affecting the world as a whole because after a period of time this "Ozone Hole" will grow and expose other parts of the world.
