SUMMARY:International Day for Preservation of the Ozone Layer
DESCRIPTION:“As we rightly focus our energies on tackling climate change\, we must be careful not to neglect the ozone layer and stay alert to the threat posed by the illegal use of ozone-depleting gases.” — UN Secretary-General\, António Guterres \n\n\n\nConcern about the hole in the ozone layer was in many ways a precursor to contemporary concern about climate change. The ozone layer is a shield of gas that protects the earth from the harmful portion of the rays of the sun. While it is less common now to hear about the ozone layer\, as the United Nations explain “the phaseout of controlled uses of ozone depleting substances and the related reductions have not only helped protect the ozone layer for this and future generations\, but have also contributed significantly to global efforts to address climate change; furthermore\, it has protected human health and ecosystems by limiting the harmful ultraviolet radiation from reaching the earth.” Find out more about protecting the ozone layer here.

SUMMARY:1993: Death of Oodgeroo Noonuccal (Kath Walker)\, Aboriginal poet\, activist and artist
DESCRIPTION:Oodgeroo Noonuccal (Kath Walker) was born Kathleen Jean Mary Ruska\, on Minjerribah (the Stradbroke Island).  She was a poet\, political activist\, artist and educator. Oodgeroo Noonuccal means Oodgeroo of the tribe Nunuccal. Oodgeroo was a strong promoter of Aboriginal culture and a campaigner for indigenous rights.  \n\n\n\nAs the Australian Women’s Register explains: \n\n\n\n“Oodgeroo’s work has been recognised by numerous awards\, including the Mary Gilmore Medal (1970)\, the Jessie Litchfield Award (1975)\, the International Acting Award and the Fellowship of Australian Writers’ Award. She also held an honorary doctorate of letters (Macquarie University) and was awarded the degree of Doctor of the University from Griffith University. In 1970\, Oodgeroo (under the name Kathleen Walker) was appointed as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (Civil) for services to the community. She returned it in 1987 in protest against the forthcoming Australian Bicentenary celebrations (1988). It was around this time that she reclaimed her traditional name\, Oodgeroo of the Noonuccal Tribe.” The Australian Women’s Register\n\n\n\nAction\n\n\n\nRead Oodgeroo Noonuccal’s poems about her experience of racism and dispossession. Has anything changed? Consider what you can do.
