Today is International Polar Bear Day! Polar bears are one of the two largest living species of bear, but their habitat is threatened by global climate change and habitat destruction.
There are many organizations that are trying to help these big bears, and you can get involved with many of them through donations, adopting a bear, petitions, etc.
Polar Bears International, for instance, challenges everyone to take their Thermostat Challenge today by turning down your thermostat just a few degrees to reduce the amount of energy used.
There is a toolkit on their site to try and get your entire community involved and aware of polar bears and how our energy choices affect them. There was also a video contest, and maybe you can get involved next year!
Check out this little article, 5 Weird Facts About Polar Bears, and learn about these beautiful bears before it’s too late.
