It’s all about the bright and beautiful things when it comes to National Clara Day, which takes place on January 4 every year. This is one of those names that puts a smile on your face. When saying it, it rolls ever so pleasantly off the tongue. As with most names, there is a wide variety of interpretations, nicknames, and popular characters connected to it, but at its core, the name conjures thoughts of its Latin ancestry and Christian background.
National Opioid Awareness Day
National Opioid Awareness Day, observed on September 21, is marked to create awareness about the effects of opioid overdose and reduce the stigma associated with it. Its purpose is to raise awareness of overdoses, reduce the stigma of drug-related deaths, and acknowledge the grief felt by families and friends. The holiday is the American version of International Overdose Awareness Day, which was initiated in 2001 in Australia by S. J. Finn. The movement is necessitated by the problem of opioid use in the U.S.
World Ozone Day
World Ozone Day, observed every year on September 16, is also known as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. The date was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1994, commemorating the date in 1987 when nations signed the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The need to declare an action to preserve the ozone layer came as a result of the outset of its depletion. In 2017, 30 years after the Montreal Protocol, the closure of the hole in the ozone layer was observed and the effects of this have been projected to last up to 100 years.
