Cimatu ang publiko na iwasan ang paggamit ng mga produktong pambahay na naglalaman ng hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) na nagpapabilis sa pagdami ng greenhouse gas at nagdudulot ng matinding kontribusyon sa climate change. Ayon sa DENR, ang HFCs ay ginagamit na propellant sa mga hair spray, deodorant, insecticide at disinfectant na isa sa pinakatinatangkilik na produkto sa pamilihan dahil sa COVID-19 pandemic. “By choosing not to buy products containing HFCs, consumers will be reducing GHG levels and sending a message to companies not to continue to use the propellant in their products,” sabi ni Cimatu. Ginawa ng environment chief ang pahayag bilang pagsuporta sa “awareness-raising efforts” ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Environmental Management Bureau sa pamamagitan ng Philippine Ozone Desk.
