Help the Polar Bears

by Stephanie Taylor and Zavi Kaul

Help the polar bears! Smart scientists say that in 20 years they'll be extinct!

Let me tell you the situation. Polar bears swim sixty miles out to sea thinking they'll find an iceberg to rest on. But when they don't find one, they can't swim sixty miles back to land, so they drown.

Using fossil fuels causes pollution and leads to global warming which melts the icebergs. So while you are driving your car and using lights, the polar bears are swimming out to sea trying to find an iceberg to rest on, and when they don't find one, they drown! They'll be gone in 20 years!

So when you leave the room, turn off the lights and stop using the computers and TV so much and maybe, JUST MAYBE, we can save the polar bears together.
