Passage:
Ban the Tan
Ah, it's the first brilliantly sunny day of the summer. You're heading for the beach. You've got your towel, water, radio, and money for a snack. You're set. Wrong! You've forgotten the most important thing: sunscreen.

"Hey, I never burn," you say. "I never use sunscreen." Well, it's time for a radical change. Even if you have really dark skin and never get sunburned, you're still getting plenty of dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays. These cause serious damage to all skin types, from the palest white to the darkest black.

Hey, you gotta be careful. 'Cause if you're not, here's what can definitely happen. You get ugly, leathery and wrinkled skin that's old before its time, and you might end up with something even scarier: skin cancer. This is disgusting nightmare material!

Why all this fanaticism about the sun all of a sudden? People have been living with it forever, right? There are several reasons why we're so much more concerned. There is a lot more skin cancer than there used to be. Scientists say this is in part because the earth's ozone layer is being depleted. The ozone is a natural UV-ray blocker, and exposure to too much UV radiation can lead to skin cancer. If we don't stop using chemicals that deplete the ozone layer, skin cancer will increase even more. The biggest culprits in ozone depletion seem to be a group of chemicals called CFCs. They have been widely used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and in production of electronic components. Substitute chemicals are available, but not everybody is using them—especially not in third-world countries. We need worldwide treaties to ban CFC use and stiff regulations to enforce them. It's still not too late to save the ozone layer, but if we ignore the problem it will be.

So what can you do to protect yourself from the sun besides staying inside and away from windows (those UV rays penetrate glass unless it has a special coating)? You can practice these safe sun habits recommended by authorities like the American Cancer Society, American Academy of Dermatology, and The Skin Cancer Foundation.

Try to stay out of the sun when it's strongest (from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m.).
Use sunscreen, every day. Be sure it's broad-spectrum and protects against UVA and UVB rays.
Wear a hat when you're in the sun, for more protection.
Wear sunglasses. They look cool and they help protect your eyes.
Try to cover up your body as much as possible. Clothing adds another barrier.
Don't use sunlamps! The sunlamp's artificial sun causes damage too.
Get to know your skin by examining it often so that if any precancerous conditions pop up you'll know enough to see a doctor.
This seems like a lot to deal with, but once you get in the habit it's pretty simple to be sun safe.
