September 16 - Knope tries to fix the Ozone with Play Doh

 It was a hot summer out there.  Climate change is real... One of the first real signs  for it came from the recognition of the depletion of the Ozone layer.

In 2000 the UN created this day to recognize that need for the preservation - the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer.


Now, since about 2007 the layer has been healing, but that came about because of the Montreal Protocol, which was signed on September 16, 1987 - however, it's no time to let up just yet (it's still about 17 million square kilometres).

Someone who would have fought strongly for change was Leslie Knope, who was played by Amy Poehler on Parks & Rec.  


Amy is now the big 5-0 today.

Another thing Leslie would love is play time.  And who didn't play with Play Doh when you were a kid.  Relive your childhood by celebrating World Play Doh Day


Play Doh was initially invented as a wallpaper cleaner back in 1930s, morphing eventually to a toy as they had learned some school teachers making crafts out of it.

Ya just never know where something will end up.
