Take Action for Polar Bears: Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

The situation is dire for the world's remaining polar bears. Rising temperatures are quickly melting the sea ice they depend on. Already there are fewer cubs, bears are skinnier and they must swim longer distance than ever to find food.

Our planet is warming so fast we risk changing the Arctic faster than polar bears can adapt. Yet, governments around the world are reticent to take real action to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

If the powers that be won't act, we can take actions in our own life to lower our carbon footprint and help give polar bears a chance.
