Question: are spray paint cans bad for the environment?

Every time you spritz an aerosol, you raise your carbon footprint because they contain hydrocarbon and compressed gasses. In fact, today's CFC-free aerosols also emit VOCs that contribute to ground-level ozone levels, a key cog in asthma-inducing smog.
