🌎💙 INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE OZONE LAYER | SEPTEMBER 16 💙🌤️
☀️🛡️ THE SKY HAS ITS OWN SHIELD—LET’S PROTECT IT!
Did you know that high above us is a thin layer of gas called the OZONE LAYER? 👀🌍 It acts like Earth’s natural sunscreen, absorbing much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation and helping protect living things.
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
🧪 The ozone layer is mainly found in the stratosphere, about 15–35 km above Earth’s surface.
UV-B radiation.
🌱 In 1987, countries adopted the Montreal Protocol to phase out many ozone-depleting substances. It is widely recognized as a major environmental cooperation success. 🌎🤝
🚨 WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Too much harmful UV radiation can increase risks to human health and can also affect plants, marine ecosystems, and other living organisms.
🌿 WE, THE SPNHS YOUTH FOR ENVIRONMENT IN SCHOOL ORGANIZATION (YES-O), stand with the global community in protecting our atmosphere.
Small actions + responsible choices + environmental awareness = a safer future for everyone. 💚🌎
☀️ Protect the ozone. Protect life. Protect our planet.
