World Ozone Day Celebrated at PM SHRI GHS Morpirla with Creative Climate Action Activities


PM SHRI GHS Morpirla joined the global observance of World Ozone Day with a meaningful celebration focused on the theme “Advancing Climate Action.” The school organized a series of engaging activities, including headgear making, poetry recitation, and poster competitions that allowed students to creatively express their understanding of ozone protection and environmental sustainability.

Teachers used the occasion to educate students on the critical role of the ozone layer in shielding the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. They stressed the importance of eliminating chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), commonly found in cooling systems, which contribute significantly to ozone depletion and global warming.

The celebration also brought attention to the growing challenge of rising global temperatures and the increasing dependency on cooling technologies—creating a feedback loop that worsens climate change. Educators urged students to be mindful of their environmental impact and inspired them to become active participants in climate action.

Through interactive participation and awareness-driven messaging, the event not only commemorated the importance of the ozone layer but also served as a platform to reinforce the urgent need to protect the planet for future generations.
