SO WHY DO WE NEED TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THE SUN?

Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. Every year, nearly 1,300 Australians die of it. The main cause of skin cancer is ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun. In Queensland the number of skin cancers has quadrupled since 1985.

Legislation at multi levels of Government now requires shade to be provided in public places where people live, work and play. "Protection from the harmful effects of the sun must become normal community practice extending from the provision of shade structures by government and non-government bodies to community members selecting shade areas for outdoor activities", states the Queensland Skin Cancer Strategic Plan Outline 2002. This Strategic Plan targets specific settings:
• Early Childhood (Day-care, Pre-schools)
• Schools
• Community/Recreational settings
• Workplace

Australians are now also seeking to protect themselves, and their families at home by shading areas of their homes and yards where they relax and play.
