The Ozone Run happening in September 2012

Another run is happening. We already aware of BIBD’s Expedition Run which is slated for October but soon will be from JASTRE, the Department of Environment, Park and Recreation, who are organising the Ozone Run. The idea of this run is to create an awareness campaign for Brunei’s support the global cause.

According to The Brunei Times, The run is part of its campaign to promote Brunei’s commitment to the Montreal Protocol which aims to phase out the consumption of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS). At the same time, it is also to celebrate the 25th Anniversary and World Ozone Day.

National Ozone officer Wan Firdaus Hj Hamidon hopes more participants for the upcoming event and this is the right time for Bruneians to demonstrate their support for this cause. The run will be documented and then showcased on Brunei’s involvement worldwide. Awesome!!!

For your info, Reductions in stratospheric ozone levels can lead to higher levels of UVB (ultraviolet light) reaching the Earth’s surface which overtime can lead to skin cancer and a low immune system to humans. Such cause can give awareness to us on how important that we take good care of our environment. Let’s not take our environment for granted.
