Polar Bears and Ice Cubes

What do Polar Bears have to do with our worsening environmental conditions?

Simple...they are becoming a very real casualty of the problem. You see Polar Bears live on the pack ice of the Arctic region, wandering the ice in search of food and diving into the northern waters to fish and hunt.

They cover hundreds of miles of ice edge and swim for miles in their daily routine. But when the ice melts, or ice shelves sheer off they may be caught in the breach, finding themselves adrift on small bergs or separated from their cubs.

Some reports identify that thousands of these bears are dieing annually do to the reduced ice coverage of the Arctic and that at this rate they will be lost to us in less than 50 years. We need to act...and we need to do it now. A world without Glaciers, without Arctic Ice Shelves..., without Polar Bears...well, that world is not what we deserve. ACT NOW...Support the Cause.

Thanks for reading.
