International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer

Day: 16th September, 2019    
Participants: 1030
Theme: “32 Years and Healing”
Protect yourself from ozone layer depletion by avoiding excessive sun exposure.
Take care of your appliances to minimize ozone layer impact.
 The ozone layer, a fragile shield of gas, protects the Earth from the harmful portion of the sun's rays, thus helping to preserve life on the planet. As such, it is paramount that we protect the ozone layer from harmful substances such as HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons), which are both ozone-depleting substances and powerful greenhouse gases that contribute to the thinning of the ozone layer. Nearly 2,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide in adding to global warming, the successful reduction of HCFC emissions remains one of the UN’s greatest challenges.
Why Do We Mark International Days?
International days are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity.  Therefore, the school is going to observe “International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer” on 16th September, 2019.  The varieties of activity will be carried out to create awareness on topics related to climate change, waste management, zero plastics and ozone depletion.
