World Ozone Day 2015



“Ozone: All there is between you and UV.”
Today on World Ozone day, let us pledge we'll do our bit by following these measures-
1. Be ozone-friendly - Purchase products that are labeled "ozone friendly" or "CFC free".
2. Dispose of old refrigerators and appliances properly.
3. Check for leaks in air conditioning units regularly.
4. Replace halon fire extinguishers with alternatives (e.g. Carbon dioxide or foam).
5. Avoid using pesticides, use natural remedies as alternatives (it will be cost efficient too).
6. Limit private vehicle driving- Car pooling, taking public transport, walking, using a bicycle reduces vehicular emissions, resulting in lesser smog, which is a culprit in the deterioration of the ozone layer.
7. Educate yourself & spread awareness about ozone layer depletion & its consequences to your family & friends.
