World Ozone Day : What Can We Do !

The world observes September 16th as International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer or World Ozone Day.The ozone layer helps sustain life on Earth by creating a fragile shield of gaseous protection around the planet that protects it from the harmful rays of the Sun. The day is used to remind citizens that they can do their own bit to protect the ozone layer, like opting for electrical appliances with ‘energy-star labels, choosing public transportation to reduce carbon footprint and so on. Consumption of the local produce is best for the body, mind, external environment and economy as well. This is because it would save transportation hassle and in the process cut down on carbon emissions.
