This is unacceptable. I don't know what else to say about this article other than it is absolutely unacceptable. We will have 2/3 less polar bears by 2050?
This is why:
Without enough sea ice, polar bears would be forced onto land, but they are inefficient hunters once they get out of the water and ice, the researchers said. The bears' disappearance would probably take place as young cubs failed to survive to adulthood and females were unable to reproduce successfully.
There can't be any compromise on this. It is becoming more and more evident that our elected officials are not going to do what is needed to reduce carbon emissions. It is up to us. Reduction of our own personal carbon footprints is necessary. What is a carbon footprint?
A Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide.
You can calculate your carbon footprint here.
Looking for simple solutions? Take a shopping tote with you when you go to the grocery store. It is easy to get past the paper and plastic addition we have when we go to the store. Use energy saving flourescent lightbulbs in your home. Don't just use one but change out every bulb you have in your home. Turn your TV off when you're not watching it.
I want my future grandchildren to be able to see a live polar bear. Don't you?
For my psychology class we have to do a socially unacceptable project where you go around and do something not normal. It cant be dangerous or illegal or hurt someone, just something different. A few examples are facing everyone in an elevator or shopping out of other peoples cart at the store or something like that. Does anyone have any unique ideas? thanks
