World Ozone Day is observed every year on 16th of September to mark the adoption of the Montreal Protocol in 1987. Since then, the entire international community has taken great strides in reducing the use of CFCs in day to day life. This day is celebrated world over to create awareness on the harmful effects of Ozone layer depletion and to energize the efforts to reverse it.
